74 An airman who endured a long battle with physical and mental conditions from traumatic brain injury is grateful for the efforts of his Military Health System healthcare team whom he says saved his life. He’s now running 100 miles a week, taking part in marathons, and remains on active duty with the U.S. Air Force.

74 Dear Doc: My husband lost an arm in Iraq, and I’m his full-time caregiver. He’s fully recovered, and we’re grateful to the staff at Naval Medical Center Portsmouth for his excellent care.

I’ve never heard of it, so I’d like to find out how EACE could help improve my husband’s life.
