Leaders and staff from Fort McCoy, the Tomah VA Medical Center, and Volk Field, Wis., met May 6 at Fort McCoy to discuss medical readiness for service members, and more.
The “Care Triad,” as they are called, meets regularly to discuss the pressing medical readiness needs of service members serving at Fort McCoy and Volk Field as well as government civilian employees.
The first meeting of this group took place Feb. 4 at the Tomah VA Medical Center. The next meeting will be held at Volk Field in August.
In the meeting, the various representatives discussed a variety of topics. They included discussions about Fort McCoy Directorate of Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation facilities, on-boarding initiatives of new employees, retirement services outreach, veterans support outreach, messaging and information sharing, understanding legal requirements, and more.
As meetings continue, leaders in all three areas are working together to improve services and capabilities for service members, veterans, and their families, officials said.
Col. Timothy Guy, commander of Volk Field who was at the meeting with Chief Master Sgt. Maria L. Chew, Volk Field’s senior enlisted leader, said they are glad to be a part of this effort.
“Thank you everyone for the collaboration,” Guy said.
The Care Triad team plans to continue to meet quarterly. As coordination continues, members said they hope to make a difference.
