🚁 Taking Public Health to New Heights! 🚁

Recently, the 5th Medical Group’s Public Health team joined forces with the 54th Helicopter Squadron to take their mission on the road—and into the sky!

The 54th Helicopter Squadron provided vital airlift transportation, flying our Public Health experts directly out to the missile fields. Once on site, our team got right to work conducting essential health, safety, and occupational inspections. 🩺📋

Whether we are at the clinic or out in the field, our top priority is ensuring that our service members remain a fit, healthy, and medically ready force. It takes seamless teamwork to keep the mission moving, and we are incredibly proud of this joint effort between our medical professionals and the aviation community.

A huge thank you to the 54 HS for the lift! 💪🚁
