We are committed to advancing the fight against cancer and other critical health challenges with an unwavering focus on readiness, operational effectiveness, and medical excellence. Through cutting-edge research, evidence-based practices, and a multidisciplinary approach, we enhance force health, resilience, lethality, and performance while driving medical innovation and education.
By leveraging emerging technologies and experimental methodologies, we collaborate with numerous Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USUHS) programs and centers to address a broad spectrum of conditions that impact mission readiness and operational capability, including:
- Cancer
- Gynecologic Conditions Affecting Readiness
- Maternal Health and Complications
- Combat Preparedness and Performance
- Cardiovascular Disease
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
- Depression and Substance Use Disorders
Our efforts prioritize patient-centered care, operational preparedness, and cost efficiency to reduce the prevalence and impact of these conditions.
We are dedicated to ensuring that all individuals under our care receive the highest standard of medical support necessary to maintain health, readiness, and mission effectiveness. Our mission is clear: to safeguard the health and operational capability of current and future forces.
