The bluegrass state of Kentucky is known for its rolling fields, horses, and college basketball, but the beautiful state also has some people that struggle to afford medical care. For nine days in August residents near the towns of Manchester, Oneida, Annville, Barbourville, and Hyden welcomed medical Service members from the Army, Air Force and Navy that visited four different counties to deliver no cost medical, dental and optical services.
The Department of Defense gathered together the resources for this large Joint Forces Innovative Readiness Training event. Units from the Army Reserve Medical Command and the Air Force offered residents free medical exams and physicals, nutritional counseling, dental x-rays, cleaning and extractions and eye exams. Dental and optical services were most popular. Although many participants had some form of medical insurance, many did not have coverage for eye or teeth care. Some patients had been untreated for long periods of time because of the high costs involved. Hardly anyone had an affordable way to purchase eyeglasses, and patients were eager to receive free glasses provided by the Naval Ophthalmic Support and Training Activity that crafted the lenses on site.

About Moody Bridge Chat

Bridge Chat's purpose is to create cohesive, high-performing teams that foster trust and connection through flexible and consistent small group discussions; in direct response to overwhelming feedback from the CSAF 21's Resilience Tactical Pause.

Caring for our Wingmen is what defines us as Airmen, so we must work to get to know our teammates and the challenges they face. We all have the same responsibility of creating the workplace we want and supporting the people we share our lives with.

Bridge Chat topics are posted here monthly to encourage small group discussions within teams. Beginning the process of recurring discussions can be difficult, but will become easier with time and reinforce the Flying Tiger culture.

To help us initiate and facilitate these discussions, we have included a guide that defines roles and ground rules.

The Flying Tiger Bridge Chat Facilitator provides facilitator trainings for base personnel. Their goal is to create squadron facilitators who take action on ACC's goal of equipping, engaging and empowering Airmen with resilience tools and create high-performing teams who look out for each other. To schedule training, contact 229-257-3211.
