JOINTBASEANACOSTIA-BOLLING,D.C.- Air Force service members can now com-municate with their medical providersthroughasecureonlineservicecalledMiCare- an internet-based portal that features con-fidential secure messaging.

The system allows beneficiaries to inter-act with their military healthcare team, re-quest medication refills, get lab results, re-quest immunization records and scheduleappointments.

MiCare has been designed to support pa-tients and healthcare teams Air Force-wide.Onceregistered,apatientwillremaininthesys-temnomatterwheretheAirForcetakesthem.

To register, patients should first visittheir Primary Care Clinic (Family Practice,Flight Medicine, Internal Medicine or Pe-diatrics) front desk to initiate the face-to-face registration process. Each patient willneed to show their military identificationcard and provide basic information such asname, social security number, birthdayand email address.

In order to ensure patient healthcare pri-vacy,membersmustregisterinpersontopar-ticipate for this secure messaging service. Forpediatric patients, a parent must first com-pletetheirregistrationbeforetheywillbeableto communicate with their child's pediatricteam. An email will then be sent for patientsto finish enrollment. Confidential messagingcan then begin.

"MiCare will make routine health care

more convenient for our patients, while re-ducing unnecessary visits to the medicaltreatment facility,” said Lt. Gen. (Dr.) CharlesB. Green, Air Force outgoing surgeon gener-al. “This process also helps free up ourproviders to see more acute patients. This isan important goal in our Air Force Patient-Centered Medical Home.”

In addition, according to Air Force Med-ical Service officials, MiCare will soon offerpatientssecureaccesstotheirpersonalhealthrecord (PHR). The PHR feature will allow pa-tients to capture medical information in acentral, online location. Officials said this hasnot been an option for patients in the past -making it difficult for them to keep track ofhealth information coming from differentdoctors, treatment locations, emergencyproviders and overseas stations.

WASHINGTON – Socialworkers today became the lat-est field of professionals tosign on to help service mem-bers, veterans and their fami-lies in a broad effort as part ofthe White House’s “JoiningForces” campaign.

Dr. Jill Biden, wife of VicePresident Joe Biden, made theannouncement in a speechJuly 25 at the annual conven-tion of the National Associa-tion of Social Workers. Bidenstarted Joining Forces withFirst Lady Michelle Obamalast year to mobilize all sectorsof American society to sup-port the military community.

“We have asked a lot of ourmilitary since Sept. 11, 2001,”Biden, whose daughter is a so-cial worker, told the audience.“They -- and their families --have responded to the needfor more frequent and longerdeployments. As they havedone in the past, our troopsand their families have an-swered the call with no com-plaint.

“But they shoulder atremendous burden,” Bidensaid.

She added that one MarineCorps wife recently told her,“People have no idea what 10years of war will do to a family.All my kids have ever known iswar.”

“For the 1.3 million Amer-icans who have fought in Iraqor Afghanistan, some of thetoughest challenges don’tcome on the battlefield,”Biden said. “They comemonths -- even years -- afterthey come home.”

Biden told of servicemenand women who are highlyskilled on the battlefield, butwho struggle to translate theirskills to civilian education orjob applications; who cancommunicate with Afghantribal leaders, but not theirown families; and whose last-ing emotional reactions to war“are natural, human respons-es” that challenge relation-ships.

“They are not a sign ofweakness, … and they shouldnever be a source of shame orstigma,” she said.“But they arevery real, and left untreated,can have drastic conse-quences.”

Still, only about half of thenation’s veterans seek carethrough the Veterans AffairsDepartment, instead relyingon civilian providers in theircommunities, Biden said.“That is why all of you are soimportant to making surethese heroes don’t fall throughthe cracks,” she said.

Social workers are“uniquelypositioned”toreachservice members, veteransand their families“because allof you are exactly where theyare -- in every single county in

the nation,” she said.Similar to agreements doc-

tors’ and nurses’ associationshave made with JoiningForces, the NASW, which rep-resents more than 650,000 so-cial workers, has pledged sup-port beginning this fall, in-cluding:

-- Launching a free, onlinetraining course for all socialworkers so they can better un-derstand the unique needs ofveterans and military familiesthat will count toward contin-uing education requirementsfor practitioners;

-- Offering a professionalCredential for Social Workwith Veterans and MilitaryFamilies for social workerswho work primarily with serv-ice members and militaryfamilies; and

-- Providing a set of stan-dards for working with veter-ans and military families.

In a conference call withreporters yesterday, NASW Di-rector Elizabeth Clark said theassociation will work to trainsocial workers in issues com-mon to veterans and militaryfamilies, including deploy-ment stress, post-traumaticstress, traumatic brain in-juries, unemployment, sui-cide, homelessness, and thosespecific to female veterans.

Ofabout1,000socialwork-ers who attended the confer-ence, 200 already are special-ized in military family issues,she said.

JOINT BASE ANACOSTIA-BOLLING,D.C. - One life does make a difference.That’s why I think it’s important to notethat suicide prevention is somethingthat should happen every day.We can alldo things to help build family resiliency.When talking or spending anytimearound military service members, I’vecome to understand that it’s indeed afamily.

We can reduce the incidents of sui-cide by knowing the signs and symp-toms, the myths and facts about suicide.The more we educate ourselves and oth-ers about suicide prevention, the betterchances we have of helping those welove and care for in our community.

People commit suicide for a numberof reasons. Many people have takentheir own lives while suffering from anunderlying mental illness or some typeof substance abuse problem. Though,this isn’t always the case as there are mil-lions of people who live with depression.

Awareness, prevention educationand treatment can help so suicide doesnot become an option for anyone. Sim-ply paying attention or having a conver-sation with someone about the way theyfeel may be all it takes.This could be witha family member, friend or a co-worker.

If you or anyone you know is havingsuicidal thoughts, there are many re-sources available to help. Here at JBAB,the 579th Medical Group has a numberof professionals available to offer help.There’s also the base chaplain and every-one at the Chapel Center. In an emer-

gency, people can also call the NationalSuicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK.

The following list of symptoms andwarning signs should help people iden-tify individuals or loved ones who are inneed of help.

Symptoms and Warning Signsof Suicide:

• Ideation (thinking, talking or wishingabout suicide)• Substance use or abuse• Purposelessness (no sense of purposeor belonging)• Anger• Trapped (feeling like there is no wayout)• Hopelessness (there is nothing to livefor, no hope or optimism)• Withdrawal from family, friends, work,

school, activities, hobbies, etc.• Anxiety (restlessness, irritability, agita-tion)• Recklessness (high risk-taking behav-ior)• Mood disturbance (dramatic changesin mood)

Additional Warning Signsof Suicide

• Looking for ways to die (internetsearches on how to commit suicide)• Statements about hopelessness, help-lessness, or worthlessness• Pre-occupation with death• Loss of interest in things one caresabout• Making arrangements; setting one's af-fairs in order• Giving things away, such as prized pos-sessions

JOINT BASE ANACOSTIA-BOLLING,D.C. - The Defense Intelligence Agency hasevolved into a global agency that operateswherever U.S. forces are engaged and atevery point along the chain of command,Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta said onJuly 24.

Panetta spoke here during a ceremonymarking the DIA change of directorship, asArmy Lt. Gen. Ronald L. Burgess Jr., whojoined DIA as director in 2009 and is retir-ing after 38 years of military service, relin-quished the directorship to Army Lt. Gen.Michael T. Flynn.

The DIA director also serves as com-mander of the joint functional componentcommand for intelligence, surveillanceand reconnaissance that is part of U.S.Strategic Command, and Burgess handedover that responsibility as well.

Hundreds in the audience included topofficials of the U.S. and coalition armedforces, the intelligence community andCongress, family members and guests, andthe men and women of DIA.

Army Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, chair-man of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, presentedBurgess with one of several commenda-tions he received today -- a certificate ofappreciation from President Barack Oba-ma.

"I extend to you my personal thanksand sincere appreciation of a grateful na-tion for your contribution of honorableservice to our country," the citation said inpart. The president also commendedBurgess for helping to maintain the na-

tion's security during a critical time in itshistory.

During the ceremony, Panetta,Dempsey, Director of National IntelligenceJames R. Clapper Jr., and many otherspraised Burgess and his service to the na-tion.

"Military intelligence is now far moreintegrated, far more effective and more vi-

tal than ever to our ability to defend thiscountry, and Ron Burgess has been instru-mental in that transformation," Panettasaid.

"Particularly over the last decade, Ronhas helped bring about that fusion of mili-tary and intelligence capabilities that hasbeen at the heart and soul of our intelli-gence effort in this country and through-

out the world," the secretary added.Such an integration of capabilities, he

added, has been a game-changer on thebattlefield.

"As a former director of the CIA, I canpersonally attest to how important thatmilitary intelligence relationship hasbeen," the secretary said. "The ability ofthe military and intelligence communitiesto work together has been incredibly im-portant to protecting this country."

Panetta also extended his gratitude to"the dedicated men and women of theDIA, who work every day and every night,without fanfare, to keep our nation safe."

Panetta said Flynn brings to his new po-sition decades of experience in military in-telligence and unsurpassed knowledge ofthe 21st-century battlefield.

"I had the opportunity to see his im-pressive work up close as director of theCIA, a chance to see it up close when hewas in Afghanistan doing tremendouswork there," Panetta said, "and I have fullconfidence that he is the right man to leadthe more than 16,000 dedicated profes-sionals that are here at the DIA."

As secretary of defense and as an Amer-ican, the secretary added, "I am deeplygrateful that our department has men andwomen of the caliber of these two who arewilling to dedicate their lives to defendingthe values that we cherish and the freedomthat we hold so dear to our heart."

Since 2011, Flynn has served as assis-tant director of national intelligence forpartner engagement.

"As we recognize the accomplish-ment of a great leader in RonBurgess for his service to DIA andour nation over these manyyears," Flynn said, "today is asmuch about the civilians, our mil-itary and all the families thatmake up this global organizationcurrently deployed in 139 coun-tries around the world, with over500 serving our combat forces inAfghanistan."

The new DIA director alsopraised agency teams, includingthe Afghanistan/Pakistan TaskForce in Afghanistan directly sup-

porting ISAF Commander MarineCorps Gen. John R. Allen, thecounterterrorist intelligence spe-cialists supporting special opera-tions forces globally deployed,those supporting the nation's re-balance toward the Asia-Pacificbasin, and those making possiblethe newly established DefenseClandestine Service.

In today's uncertain environ-ment, Flynn added, "DIA standsout as the world's premier mili-tary intelligence agency. There aresimply none better."

Clapper, who was DIA directorfrom 1992 to 1995, told storiesabout Burgess' fierce love for col-lege football by the Tigers from hisAlabama alma mater Auburn Uni-

versity, his career-long history ofregular gym workouts, and his rolein transitioning the National De-fense Intelligence College into theNational Intelligence University --despite, Clapper said to laughterfrom Burgess and the audience,Burgess's advice to his own chil-dren about going to college: "It'sonly a lot of reading if you do it."

Clapper told other stories aswell, about the difference Burgessmade at DIA.

"Yesterday, for example, wepresented Ron with a specialaward recognizing his leadershipin fostering equal opportunityand diversity, not only at DIA, butas the role model of leadership forthe entire community," Clapper

said. "That is richly deservedrecognition, and it is exemplaryof Ron's superb leadership."

Afterward, Clapper presentedBurgess with the National Intelli-gence Distinguished ServiceMedal "in recognition of extraor-dinary contributions from May1974 to July 2012 . [and personalqualities that were] instrumentalin transforming defense intelli-gence into a cooperative enter-prise to better serve national pol-icymakers, combatant com-manders and warfighters."

Burgess also received the De-fense Distinguished ServiceMedal for his 2009-2012 service asDIA director.

Taking the podium, Burgess

recognized and thanked all ofthose who shared the stage withhim, his advisory board and thosein the audience, his voice break-ing as he thanked his wife andchildren and their families formany years of love and support.

"To the men and women ofDIA here and around the globe,thank you for your highly profes-sional service to the nation,"Burgess said.

"What guides this agency andits professionals every day is theunderstanding that while muchof what we do is secret, our workis and forever shall be a publictrust," he added, "and it's a trustthat we must earn anew everyday."

JOINT BASE ANACOSTIA-BOLLING, D.C. -- Summer monthsacross the military bring manyChange of Command ceremonies,welcoming of new leadership andan introduction of their ideas andduty expectations. The 579th Med-ical Group (MDG) recently saidfarewell to one commander andrendered a first salute to another.

Col. Kathryn Tate assumedcommand of the medical groupJuly 23 on the U.S. Air Force Cere-monial Lawn at Joint Base Anacos-tia-Bolling where members in uni-form and friends of the militaryviewed the time-honored tradi-tion.

79th Medical Wing Command-er Maj. Gen. Gerard Caronpresided over the ceremony whereCol. Roseanne Warner relin-quished command of the 579thMDG to Tate.

"Col. Warner has led the 579thMDG through some of the mostsignificant changes ever seen byher organization and together withtheir mission partners on JBABthey have made history. There isno 'template' for a joint base; eachhas its own unique strengths andchallenges," Caron said. "JBAB isthe only joint base in which themedical support is not provided bythe host or supporting service. Un-der the overarching structure of amedical wing, the 579th MDG hasbeen able to continue the proudlegacy of service and medical sup-port to those who live and work atJBAB and the Pentagon."

Tate, a certified nurse-midwife,recently held the position ofdeputy group commander andchief nurse at the 35th MedicalGroup at Misawa Air Base, Japan.Her Air Force career first broughther to the National Capital Regionin 2008 as the commander of the779th Surgical OperationSquadron at Joint Base Andrews,Md. which was followed by an ex-ecutive officer position alongsideformer Air Force District of Wash-ington Commander Maj. Gen.Darren McDew.

"We chose Col. Tate specificallybecause we saw no other candi-

date whose record of excellenceand caring so closely matched thatshown by Col. Warner during hercommand tenure at the 579thMedical Group," Caron said. "Shebrings a tremendous depth of ex-perience in healthcare-serving as anurse on various types of units atfive different locations includingBitburg, Germany and Laken-heath, England."

Tate comes to the 579th MDGwith experience at the flight,squadron and group levels whichhave given her first-hand knowl-edge about support required byfront-line clinic staff and their pa-tients.

"To the men and women ofthe 579th, thank you for takingcare of your families and your-selves. For you must first take careof both your family and yourselfso you can fully focus on our pa-tients when they need you," Tatesaid.

The 579th MDG, team JBABand Air Force District of Washing-ton welcomes Col. Tate back to theNational Capital Region. She
