The DGMC Newsroom

There are more than 2,500 stories available inside DGMC.  From a freshly-minted medical technician, nurse or physician to a seasoned Squadron or Medical Group commander, no story is too big or too small to tell -- and all have unique experiences to share with the general public.

The 60th Medical Group's Public Affairs Office (60 MDG/PA) is the primary liaison between DGMC and media representatives, Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs eligible associations, and public affairs offices at Travis and throughout the Military Health System, DoD, and other federal agencies. 60 MDG/PA prepares news releases on behalf of DGMC for release by the 60th Air Mobility Wing's Public Affairs Office (60 AMW/PA), coordinates press interviews, creates and updates website content, writes and executes communications plans, prepares background information for medical leadership, reviews and provides rebuttal to potential negative news coverage and manages the DGMC Newsroom.

Media can make their requests known by contacting and coordinating their efforts through the 60th Medical Group or 60th Air Mobility Wing Public Affairs offices.
