81st MDG Commander’s Call
Col. (Dr.) Tom Harrell, 81st Medical Group commander, addresses “Dragon Medics” during his Sept. 4 Commander’s Call at the Welch Theater. Utilizing smoke, music and dancers to start the session, this was not a typical commander’s call. The colonel used the occasion to make the staff aware of the Group’s major focus areas for the next two to three years. These include enhancing medical currency and proficiency of the entire staff; maximizing the return on investment in specialty care; Base Operational Cell and Flight Operations Medicine Clinic; developing a continuous process review way of doing business; and enhancing the experience of those the staff serves.
