Community collaboration enhances medical care
Second Lt. Candy Davis, 81st Inpatient Operations Squadron, shows one of the family birthing center rooms to guests at the recent “Evening of Medical Collaboration” jointly hosted by Humana Military Healthcare Services and Keesler Medical Center. About 175 members of the community, including legislative staff, sister service representatives, hospital executives and private practice physicians, spent more than three hours at the medical center. Following a social hour, Brig. Gen. (Dr.) Daniel Wyman, 81st Medical Group commander, provided a presentation, “Premiere Healthcare through Community Collaboration.” Participants toured the medical center’s state-of-the-art capabilities such as magnetic resonance imaging, refractive surgery center, genetics center, simulation laboratory and family birthing center. General Wyman said the program “left a huge, very positive impression on the community and will pay dividends well into the future.” (U.S. Air Force photo by Steve Pivnick)
