When someone is released from the hospital (example Brooke Army Med.) for Mental health. What treatment is available for these soldiers? And why aren’t the treatments available at adequate hours?
It becomes more challenging for a soldier to have to complete treatment (basic therapy sessions) when they’re asked to miss class. Are there options for them to keep a normal schedule? If not why not ? If there are options are these communicated to each soldier having these problems? Thanks

All of the Dell Latitude tablets have defective batteries. The batteries have died and the tablet instantly shuts down if it is disconnected. Additionally, the batteries swell and cause the monitor screen to separate. When we ask IMD about getting a new battery, they tell us they don't have any. It is very cumbersome or impossible to bring the tablet to other locations for presentations, meetings, or rounding with inpatient teams. Is anyone doing anything about this?
Thank you for your help.

All of the treadmills have been removed from the outdoor gym on the first floor of the hospital. I realize that we have access to the Ft Sam gym, but having treadmills in the hospital was convenient and a huge time saver. Not to mention it significantly increased the odds of me running after work, even on days I worked late. Running is required for the fitness test and I know we would all appreciate access to treadmills in the hospital.

Thank you for listening!

What treatments are being made available to dependents if they test positive for COVID, struggling with symptoms, but not bad enough to be admitted to BAMC? Infusions, other IV or oral medications, beyond providers simply suggesting OTC medications and home remedies? Where can one access this care if it’s being offered? Hopefully not just via the ER…can the provider prescribe these at their discretion or is there a set standard of care that is followed in these instances?

Why aren’t there any military PCMs available for retirees and retiree family members at any of the following: BANC, Moreno Clinic nor Camp Bullis? How can a family member go from having a military PCM one week while sponsor is on active duty to none available when sponsor retires??

JBSA has implemented a 40% occupancy in in their office spaces. Does this apply to BAMC admin office spaces?

Will JBSA offer Novavax-c19 vaccine if/when it gets approved?

Can you please explain how to properly transport a Covid positive person if you are Covid negative in a POV?

Why is it that a person has to have a symptom of Covid-19 to get a Covid Test at the BAMC Garage? I was told one CANNOT get a Test merely for Emotional well-being by a medic without conferring with a health professional. BTW, I am a retired ARMY RN with over 45 years' experience.
