#BrainHealth research is tied directly to the @SecDef's priority of Taking Care of People. Military service will always carry risk, but we owe it to the volunteers we serve, who readily take on the dangers of protecting us all, to listen to what servicemembers are telling us.

I was honored to kick off @MilitaryHealth's first-ever public Brain Health Symposium hosted by the @USUhealthsci in Bethesda, Maryland.

On November 1, 2024, I began serving as Acting ASD HA. I extend my gratitude to Dr. Lester Martinez-Lopez for his distinguished service. With a strong team in place, I’m confident we can meet the challenges ahead. Thank you for your dedication and commitment to our shared mission

Always remember, this is not about us. It's about the people we serve and providing them with the best care possible. I leave you in the capable hands of my Principal Deputy, Ms. Seileen Mullen who will continue the success of our initiatives. Thank you for your support!

Today I'm announcing my departure from the @MilitaryHealth System. Serving in this role has been the privilege of my life, and I'm confident that those who take care of our people are more than ready to fully implement the vision we’ve laid out to strengthen the MHS.
