FORT BELVOIR, VA (February 23, 2023)—Concentration, focus, and professionalism are on full display during a robotic-assisted joint replacement surgery at the Belvoir Hospital February 23, 2023. The hospital is the first medical treatment facility in the Defense Health Agency with this robotic-assisted platform (VELYS), and the cutting-edge technology provides the joint replacement surgeons an unparalleled amount of real-time surgical data. Leveraging this technology greatly increases and enables consistent, reproducible, and accurate surgical bone cuts and gives instantaneous feedback in real-time. Combining the VELYS with their existing ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) protocols work hand-in-hand to achieve a combined goal of expert, safe, and compassionate patient care.
Dr. Brian Lein, MD, assistant director for Healthcare Administration at the Defense Health Agency is provided a behavioral health assessment with Mental Health Department at Naval Hospital Bremerton, May 18, 2022. Lein was welcomed by NHB command leadership along with Col. Jonathan Taylor, Puget Sound MHS Market director and Madigan Army Medical Center commander, to meet and greet with NHB staff at several locales including Mental Health department and the Main Operating Room before convening with top hospital officials for a round table meeting to discuss such topics as current hiring practices, transition of administration and management to DHA and joint service cooperation. “We can never lose the focus of what we’re here for. We’re here because of the uniform that you’re wearing. The president of the United States can call you up today and say ‘I need you to go someplace tonight.’ And if you’re not ready then our Sailors, Soldiers, Airmen and Marines will not make it home. That’s your sole responsibility, because a local civilian hospital will never do that. They never have the responsibility to deploy. They never have the responsibility to go far forward. Healthcare administration is my job, but really the only reason that we exist as a military healthcare system is not the healthcare delivery portion, it’s the readiness portion. It’s the readiness of the Sailors and Marines you support here and readiness of every Sailor, physician and nurse who is going to get called upon by the Navy surgeon general who says ‘I need you tonight to go someplace.’ Because no one does it and we can’t ever say that’s not our priority,” stated Lein, charged with overseeing the Military Health System transition of administration and management from all military hospitals and clinics from the branch services – Army, Air Force and Navy – to DHA (Official Navy photo by Douglas H Stutz, NHB/NMRTC Bremerton public affairs officer).
