Emphasizing where the focus is... Maj. Gen. Lee E. Payne, Assistant
Director for Combat Support Agency, Defense Health Agency explained to Naval
Hospital Bremerton staff members during a Town Hall meeting there are four
overlapping areas of focus for DHA which are great outcomes, ready medical
force, satisfied patients, and fulfilled staff, all contributing to the goal
of having a medically ready force and a ready medical force. Payne visited
NHB Dec. 10, 2019 and brought together Pacific Northwest Air Force, Army,
and Navy medical leadership for in-depth discussion on the transition, as
well as assessment of needed medical support for mission readiness in caring
for Sailors, Marines and operational forces in meeting assigned strategic
goals. The trip to NHB was but one of many to locales throughout the U.S.
for Payne, following implementation of the National Defense Authorization
Acts of Fiscal Years 2017, 2018, and 2019, that required all service
branches to transition administration and management of all continental U.S.
MTFs to DHA. This included NHB, Naval Health Clinic Oak Harbor, Madigan Army Medical Group, and U.S. Air Force 62nd Medical Squadron, Joint Base Lewis McCord. (Official Navy photo by Douglas H Stutz, Naval Hospital Bremerton public affairs).
