Leaders Sign Covenant for Health Care
By Jerry Harben

Medical Command Commander LTG Eric B. Schoomaker and Command Sergeant Major CSM Althea C. Dixon early this year signed a formal covenant representing MEDCOM’s commitment to provide quality health care to Warriors and their Families.

Listed on the Army Medicine Healthcare Covenant are commitments to deliver maximized physical and behavioral health promotion, improved quality outcome-focused care and services, and improved access and continuity to care.  The leaders also committed to providing the highest quality care, providing support during the healing process, providing assistance in returning to duty or transitioning to civilian life, and providing a healing environment that focuses on mind, body and spirit.

All regional medical commands and subordinate commanders will conduct public ceremonies for leaders to sign the covenant.  Each new commander will sign the covenant after assuming command.

Poster-size images of the Healthcare Covenant will be posted in medical treatment facilities.
