We regret to inform you that the WAMC phone system is currently experiencing technical difficulties.

When patients come to Womack Army Medical Center (WAMC) with life threatening injuries, the trauma team comes together with the best life saving techniques for that patient. Interventional Radiology (IR) is one of those specialties that has and continues to play and important role in saving lives at this level III trauma center. Despite their efforts in saving lives with this minimal invasive treatment, the IR team at WAMC credits their success to the positive environment they have created for themselves and their patients.

The Legion of Honor Humanitarian Award was presented to Lt. Col. Stanislaw Jasiurkowski, Womack Army Medical Center Department of Ministry and Pastoral Care chief. His cumulative efforts considered for this award included humanitarian missions while deployed to Iraq, benefitting 300 children, work at a military treatment facility and other community projects.

For many people, the holiday season brings expectations of joy. But for some, the holidays may be a time of stress, sadness, or isolation. Life events like the deployment of a spouse, the loss of a loved one, and complex family dynamics can affect how we feel during the holiday season.

TRICARE Open Season is here. Now through Dec. 12, most people enrolled in or eligible for TRICARE Prime or TRICARE Select can make enrollment changes for next year. Open season doesn’t apply to everyone who uses TRICARE.

No matter where you live or travel, it’s important to have the prescription drugs you need. To help make this possible, your TRICARE pharmacy benefit is available worldwide. But overseas, your pharmacy options may vary.

Some TRICARE beneficiaries may be eligible for the Federal Employees Dental and Vision Insurance Program, or FEDVIP. This program is managed by the Office of Personnel Management. If you're eligible, you can enroll in or change your dental and vision coverage during Federal Benefits Open Season.
