Activated in 2007 as the "youngest" squadron within the 60th Medical Group, the 60th Inpatient Squadron is responsible for all inpatient care at DGMC.
A diverse medical service, the 60 IPTS provides primary and sub-specialty inpatient care for more than 500,000 Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs eligible beneficiaries. This joint venture 110-bed medical center -- the largest in Air Mobility Command -- is a referral center for women's and children's patient healthcare, adult medical/surgical, joint voluntary/involuntary status mental health unit, cardiovascular and critical care. With 284 authorized personnel, 60 IPTS provides state-of-the-art care for more than 5,600 admissions annually.
Five flights make up 60 IPTS: Maternal Child Care Flight, Surgical Inpatient Flight, Critical Care Flight, Medical Inpatient Flight, and the Mental Health Inpatient Flight. 60 IPTS boasts 19 telemetry beds, which allows for the continuous remote monitoring of the heart while the patient is away from the bed.
Notably, 60 IPTS has one of two inpatient psychiatric wards in the Air Force Medical Service, and plans to add services for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder inpatients in the future. As a direct supporter of the Global War on Terror, 60 IPTS responds to EMEDS, CATT, TCN, and other national tasks. There are currently 14 scheduled to deploy in the upcoming rotation.
