The review was to assess whether: 1) Access to medical care in the MHS meets defined standards; 2) The quality of healthcare in the MHS meets or exceeds defined benchmarks; and 3) The MHS has created a culture of safety with effective processes for ensuring safe and reliable care of beneficiaries. This Lt. Gen. Patricia D. Horoho was the first time the MHS had taken an enterprise view of such scope in these areas. Lt. Gen. Patricia Horoho, U.S. Army surgeon general and Key recommendations to improve healthcare safety practices commander, U.S. Army Medical Command, briefs Army include implementation of the principles of an HRO, focused Medicine in Europe leaders on becoming a High Reliability on leadership, culture, and robust process improvement.

  • Fantasy Flight 1225 Holiday Magic for Local Children
    How 230 elves are providing Fantasy Flight 1225 holiday magic for local children by Blythe Thimsen photos by Zoom Photography HE SOUND OF JINGLING bells, peals of laughter and the wafting strains of Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer nearly drown out the gate agent whose voice comesT over the intercom system. “We are now boarding Alaska Airlines Flight 1225 with service to the North Pole,” she says. “Please have your boarding pass out and ready. We will begin by boarding rows 25 to 31, at gate A1.” A sudden silence fills the concourse, followed by an eruption of cheers as passengers run for the gate, with glitter flying through the air and several passengers doing cartwheels. Not your average boarding scene? Well, this is not your average flight. Welcome aboard the Spokane Fantasy Flight to the North Pole. For 14 years, Spokane Fantasy Flight, a 501(c)3 non-profit, has provided underprivileged children in Spokane, Washington, a North Pole experience to meet Santa Claus. Four years ago, it upped the ante by partnering with Alaska Airlines, which took the experience to the skies with a live flight. The goal is to give children who have challenged lives the chance to dream and believe during the holiday season. “We want them to enjoy their time and to wonder about the amazing possibilities of their lives in this world, not to worry about them,” says Steve Paul, CEO and President of Northwest North Pole Adventures, which handles the administrative responsibilities, which are too much for Santa’s busy elves. Throughout the year, Paul works very closely with Chief Elf Bernie, the head elf who is in charge of the entire event.
