00:03.890 --> 00:06.065
- The Air Force Surgeon General currently has a vision

00:06.065 --> 00:09.059
to where he's trying to emphasize for the medical groups

00:09.059 --> 00:10.994
to get out of the medical group building

00:10.994 --> 00:13.502
and almost like mobile medics going out to the unit

00:13.502 --> 00:16.208
to provide medical care at the unit level.

00:16.208 --> 00:19.933
- We created something that helps our airmen directly.

00:19.933 --> 00:21.649
So if we can just make it a little easier

00:21.649 --> 00:23.734
for people, God, that goes a long way.

00:23.734 --> 00:25.213
- [Man with Longer Hair] With us creating this offsite

00:25.213 --> 00:28.125
clinic over at their unit, that's preventing them

00:28.125 --> 00:29.464
from having to leave their post,

00:29.464 --> 00:31.423
turn in their weapons, travel to the med group

00:31.423 --> 00:33.181
in order to be seen for their medical care.

00:33.181 --> 00:37.270
With only 200 hours of providers going to the unit,

00:37.270 --> 00:40.575
we're giving them back approximately 3600 hours

00:40.575 --> 00:42.477
in order to actually perform their mission.

00:42.477 --> 00:44.359
So the most important thing about this initiative

00:44.359 --> 00:47.080
is simply just how much time we're giving back to the unit.

00:47.080 --> 00:48.919
- It needs to be something that can be sustainable

00:48.919 --> 00:52.577
and we've proven that it is and can be moving forward.

00:52.577 --> 00:54.913
- Without airmen, without people nothing in the Air Force

00:54.913 --> 00:57.450
can function and our job is to basically

00:57.450 --> 01:00.020
maintain them and keep them fit to fight.
