00:00.714 --> 00:03.297
(gentle music)

00:06.480 --> 00:08.460
- [Narrator] The military's
healthcare personnel

00:08.460 --> 00:11.430
have been giving their all
and putting it all on the line

00:11.430 --> 00:14.700
since the beginning of
the COVID-19 pandemic.

00:14.700 --> 00:18.210
Their strength, perseverance
and mission focus

00:18.210 --> 00:22.050
are truly inspiring and
needed now more than ever.

00:22.050 --> 00:24.330
- Ready reliable care is the MHS,

00:24.330 --> 00:26.340
so the Military Health System's journey

00:26.340 --> 00:28.680
to reach high reliability organization.

00:28.680 --> 00:31.650
It comes from also the DHA mission:

00:31.650 --> 00:35.160
unified, ready, reliable
because the center

00:35.160 --> 00:37.800
of it is that readiness mission

00:37.800 --> 00:39.660
and to execute the readiness mission.

00:39.660 --> 00:43.710
- I went from providing care
to COVID-19 positive patients,

00:43.710 --> 00:46.050
mobilizing for COVID-19 missions,

00:46.050 --> 00:49.770
and then to provide a vaccine
and to administer a vaccine

00:49.770 --> 00:52.830
that could potentially save
hundreds and thousands of lives.

00:52.830 --> 00:54.300
That was full circle for me.

00:54.300 --> 00:57.180
- We supported North
Mississippi Medical Center

00:57.180 --> 00:59.100
and this particular medical center

00:59.100 --> 01:01.470
had a designated COVID ICU.

01:01.470 --> 01:03.360
We can do so many different
things in the military.

01:03.360 --> 01:05.130
We're very agile, we're very adaptive.

01:05.130 --> 01:07.950
- I think this is another opportunity

01:07.950 --> 01:09.480
where we were able to demonstrate

01:09.480 --> 01:12.630
that we have world-class
healthcare providers,

01:12.630 --> 01:15.690
world-class nurses,
world-class technicians

01:15.690 --> 01:18.300
that are able to go into any environment

01:18.300 --> 01:21.990
and, you know, mesh with that team

01:21.990 --> 01:25.290
just like they would on
a deployment elsewhere.

01:25.290 --> 01:27.060
- That's who we need to be as an agency.

01:27.060 --> 01:28.410
That's how we need to be working

01:28.410 --> 01:30.510
with everyone in the inner agency.

01:30.510 --> 01:32.430
And that's our commitment to support

01:32.430 --> 01:34.890
the men and women of the armed forces.

01:34.890 --> 01:36.720
- [Narrator] With the health
and security of the nation

01:36.720 --> 01:39.660
on the line like never
before, we are thankful

01:39.660 --> 01:41.040
that these healthcare warriors

01:41.040 --> 01:43.983
were on our side in the
fight against COVID-19.
