Defense Secretary ChuckHagel on May 27 ordered acomprehensive, 90-day re-view of the Military HealthSystem to examine accessto care, and assess the safetyand quality of health care inmilitary treatment facilitiesand DOD purchased healthcare from civilian providers,DODofficials said.The first of seven site visits

of the Military Health Systemreview was launched June 20at Naval Medical Center SanDiego, Pentagon Press Sec-retary Navy Rear Adm. JohnKirby told reporters. NavalHealth Clinic Patuxent Riveris set to host the same reviewvisit July 1.The secretary based the

need for the review on effortsto continually review and im-provemilitary health care.The review comes on the

heels of media coverage ofseveral high-profile cases,such as the investigationsinto access to care atVeteransAffairs medical centers andclinics, and reports of unan-ticipated deaths at WomackArmy Medical Center at FortBragg, North Carolina, whichresulted in the hospital com-mander’s firing, as previouslyreported.Kirby said DOD has “iden-

tified seven military treat-ment facilities” that willparticipate in the site visitsof this review. In addition toNavalMedical Center SanDi-ego and Naval Health ClinicPatuxent River, they are: Ma-digan Army Medical Centerat Joint Base Lewis-McChord,Washington; the Air ForceAcademy Cadet Clinic inColorado Springs, Colorado;WinnArmyCommunityHos-pital at Fort Stewart, Geor-gia; Royal Air Force Laken-heath Hospital, 48th MedicalGroup, Suffolk, England; andFortBelvoirCommunityHos-pital, Fort Belvoir,Virginia.The review team sought a

diverse survey by branch ofservice, geography, medical

facility size in terms of selectaccess, quality, and safetyperformance measures,which was a “deliberate deci-sion,” Kirby said.“If the review calls for

other site visits,we’ll certainlylook into that,” he added.“Site visit teamswill consist ofmore than20health care pro-fessionals to include someflag and general officers.”The teams will meet with

facility staff to assess thequality of care, access to careand safety at each of these fa-cilities, Kirby said.The review team also will

conduct two town hall ses-sions to solicit feedback,Kirby added, one for facultystaff, and one for beneficia-ries.The town hall for benefi-

ciaries at NAS Pax River is setfor 3 p.m.Tuesday at Building1489, off Cedar Point Road, inRoom102.“Following the review, the

secretary will receive rec-ommendations on areas forimprovement,” the admiralsaid, “with a specific focus onthose areas where we are notmeeting a nationally definedstandard or a DOD policy-directed standard.”The Military Health Sys-

tem provides health care formore than 9.6million benefi-ciaries, including active-dutyservice members, retireesand eligible familymembers.

NEWS BRIEFS

By Connie HempelNAS Patuxent River Public Affairs

Earlier in June, the Navy ExchangeService Command (NEXCOM) an-nounced it contributed $51.9millionto Navy MWR from profits earnedin fiscal year 2013. This came onthe heels of NEX announcing itscustomers donated $374,000 to theNavy-Marine Corps Relief Society(NMCRS) during the store’s month-long donation drive inMarch.“It is satisfying to be part of an

organization where customers ben-efit from their own purchases,” saidKathlyn Crittenden, NAS Pax River’sNEX general manager.“In addition to providing our cus-

tomers with quality goods and ser-vices at a savings, NEXCOM’s mis-sion is also to support Navy qualityof life programs,” said retired RearAdm. Robert J. Bianchi, chief execu-tive officer for NEXCOM. “So, in ad-dition to saving our customersmon-ey when they shop at the NEX, themoney they spend also ultimatelysupports their own quality of life.”Crittenden said 70 percent of

NEX profits go to MWR each fiscalyear, and 25 percent of that stays lo-cal. The other 30 percent is used forrecapitalization such as maintain-ing the stores. NEXCOM operateson the retail fiscal year calendar,which in 2013 was Feb. 2, 2013, toFeb. 1, 2014.Of the $51.9million sent toMWRs

Navywide, NAS Patuxent River’sMWR received more than $100,000.“These Sailor-generated dol-

lars allow us to build and operateoutstanding recreation facilities

throughout the Navy and therebyenhance the common thread of‘Service to the Fleet’ from MWR inpartnership with NEX,” said Ed-ward J. Cannon, Commander, NavyInstallations Command, Fleet andFamily Readiness director.According to Pax River Fleet and

Family Readiness director, Tom Kub-alewski, locally, NEX contributionsare used to offset expenses associat-ed with programs such as the LibertyCenter, fitness and sports, and spe-cial events such as the LeprechaunLeap andMovies on the Lawn.

Relief SocietyNEXCOM also presented a cer-

emonial check to Navy-MarineCorps Relief Society (NMCRS) Pres-ident and Chief Executive Officer,retired Adm. Steve Abbot, in early

June symbolizing the $374,000 do-nated toNMCRSbyNEX customers.The donation drive began in

March when NEX customers wereable to purchase a $5 card to benefitthe Relief Society. The card entitledcustomers to specific discounts fora one-time purchase April 25-27.During the donation drive, NAS

Pax River NEX collected $6,730 fromcustomers, and a ceremonial checkwas presented to the local NMCRSJune 23.“Thank you to all the NEX cus-

tomers around the globe whomadethis year’s $5 coupon sale so suc-cessful,” said Abbot. “Your partner-ship, enthusiasm and generositycontinue to make a difference forSailors, Marines and their families.”

Kristine M. Sturkie, Navy Ex-change Service Command Public Af-fairs, contributed to this article.

NEX gives backFrom quality goods to funds for MWR and Relief Society,Navy Exchange continues to improve quality of life In the gospel of John

10:1-10, Jesus character-izes the false shepherdswith stern disapproval, butwarmth, reassurance andtenderness color his voiceas he speaks of a true shep-herd.Jesus also identifies

himself as the gate throughwhich every good shep-herd must pass in orderto access the sheepfold.Those who enter by way of the gate, he identifies as au-thentic shepherds who truly care for their sheep.Jesus demeans the false shepherds who enter the

sheepfold by other means than the gate.Today, some believe the scripture identifies shepherds

as those in hierarchical positions; but in truth, a shep-herd is anyone placed in charge of others, such as anolder sibling, a parent, an authoritative figure, a priest,a bishop, etc. And as true followers of Christ, it is incum-bent upon us to assume such responsibility and act ac-cordingly.A favorite verse of mine frequently used at testimoni-

als, but lacks known authorship, goes like this: “Somehave a gift for helping others to see the world as a placeof possibility. Some impart wisdom or comfort and care.Some point out the path and some take you there.”It’s a verse I’m particularly fond of because I think

it epitomizes important attributes of a true Christian;namely to be optimistic, wise and caring, aswell as beingready at all times to point out the path, and if necessary,to take the pilgrim to his destination: eternal life.That sort of commitment requires not only verbal as-

sent to church teachings, but also action to validate thatcommitment.The last part of the verse states: “Somewarm the heart

with a human touch. You have all these gifts;” a true tes-timonial to Jesus’ followers.
