  • Volunteers needed for invisible wounds interviews

  • Pharmacy copayments increase Feb. 1

    TRICARE has announced that pharmacy copayments will increase for prescription drugs Feb. 1 for all beneficiaries except active duty service members.

  • Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) can be difficult to detect with its typical lack of physical markers. Knowing the signs and symptoms of TBI is critical and ensures Airmen can return to duty. (U.S. Air Force photo)

    Air Force tackles Traumatic Brain Injury with early detection and holistic approach to treatment

    With over 3,000 cases of traumatic brain injury on average per year, TBI continues to be a significant issue for Airmen and readiness. TBI is an invisible wound, meaning the lack of physical markers often makes it difficult to detect or for others to understand the severity. Understanding the symptoms of TBI is crucial for immediate evaluation and treatment and to ensure medical readiness with minimal downtime. The Air Force Medical Service continues to improve TBI care with the upcoming Invisible Wounds Center at Eglin Air Force Base.

  • Why victims of sexual assault or domestic abuse do not report

    With all the hustle and bustle of the holiday season and the expectations of perfect holiday get-togethers, the feeling that everyone seems happy and healthy may not always be true. All of these things and so many other aspects of the holidays, can lead to stress and ill health for survivors of sexual assault. For many survivors, the holidays can be a time of struggle, a time of feeling alone with their grief, either as painful memories flood back or as current abuse takes place without others’ knowledge.
