Stronger Together: Honoring Our Legacy and Partnership 🤝

Tripler Army Medical Center (TAMC) was honored to host leadership from the VA Pacific Islands Health Care System for a powerful ceremony celebrating their "plank holders," the amazing individuals who laid the foundation for veteran care in the Pacific.

TAMC leadership stood proudly alongside our VA partners to reaffirm a shared, sacred promise, "to serve every veteran with the dignity, compassion, and excellence they deserve." Every contribution (whether on the front lines or behind the scenes) carries this vital mission forward for generations to come.

Mahalo to everyone, in and out of uniform, who built this foundation and continues to serve our community daily. 🌺

YOU can prevent cervical cancer by getting screened.

Routine cervical cancer screenings, HPV vaccination, regular well-woman exams, and healthy lifestyle choices can help reduce the risk of developing cervical cancer.

Lt. Col. David Anderson, a gynecologic oncologist at Tripler Army Medical Center, encourages patients to:

✅ Follow cervical cancer screening recommendations from their primary care manager
✅ Stay up to date on the HPV vaccine
✅ Schedule regular well-woman exams
✅ Avoid smoking and practice safe s*x
✅ Notify their provider about significant changes in their menstrual cycle

To schedule a well-woman exam, contact your PCM through the MHS GENESIS Patient Portal at https://my.mhsgenesis.health.mil or call the Central Appointment Line at 888-683-2778 for Oahu military treatment facilities.

Please note: The TAMC OB/GYN Clinic does not currently offer walk-in services.

We had the distinct privilege of welcoming Lt. Gen. Mary K. Izaguirre, the U.S. Army Surgeon General and commanding general of U.S. Army Medical Command, to the Pacific.

Lt. Gen. Izaguirre spent valuable time engaging with Medical Readiness Command, Pacific (MRC-P) and our subordinate leadership teams for an inspiring Joint Leadership Professional Development (LPD) session yesterday.

Joined by Command Sgt. Maj. John E. Dobbins and CW5 Terrence Ward, the senior leadership team focused on what drives our mission every single day: leadership, purpose, readiness, and innovation in military medical operations.

It was an incredible opportunity to sync up, share perspectives, and reinforce the vital role of medical readiness throughout the region. Thank you to everyone who joined the conversation and continues to keep our force ready and resilient.
