Narration:
The Environmental Health team from U.S. Army Medical Department Activity Japan recently conducted their annual health and welfare inspection, validating food safety at the Camp Zama Community Club, checking equipment at Yano Fitness Center, and conducting a sanitation inspection at barber shop. The purpose of the inspection is to ensure a safe and healthy environment for the community on Camp Zama.

Interview: SPC Kristen N. Matthews, Environmental Health Technician, MEDDAC Japan

Narration:
In order to ensure a true snapshot of the facilities, the team conducts each inspection randomly and without advance notification. This allows them to see the state of each location without preemptive preparation.

Narration:
The facilities the Environmental Health team inspects directly serve the Camp Zama community, meaning there will always be a need for the men and women who work every day to ensure the safety and quality of those facilities.
