Following in the footsteps of the Trilogy Challenge, Veterans for Vets is a new event designed to meet three goals. First, it gives disc golfers a chance to play in an organized event during the winter months. Second, it provides an awesome environment for a disc golfer without any tournament experience to play in an organized event. Finally, it provides an opportunity for a local disc golf community to raise money that gets returned to that same community to organizations tasked with serving veterans!

holiday Monday, 18 Jan 21. Therefore, all primary and specialty care services and pharmacies will be closed. The Emergency Center, inpatient services, as well as supportive supplementary services will remain open to provide inpatient, acute and emergency medical care.
Health and Wellness COVID-19 Services
Beneficiaries with COVID-19 symptoms (fever, cough, shortness of breath) or who have been in close contact with a COVID-19 infected person may call the hospital’s appointment line at 270-798-4677 (HOSP) or

Cervical Health Awareness Month
Nearly 13,000 women in the United States are diagnosed with cervical cancer each year, but the disease is virtually always preventable with vaccination and appropriate screening (Pap and HPV tests).
Screening can find changes in the cervix before cancer develops. It can also find cervical cancer early– when it’s small, has not spread, and is easiest to cure. Another way to help prevent cervical cancer in the future is to have children vaccinated against human papilloma virus (HPV), which causes most cases of cervical cancer.
National Blood Donor Month
American Red Cross celebrates and recognizes the lifesaving contribution of blood donors. As we begin the New Year, considering resolving to roll up a sleeve to give this month and throughout 2020. On Fort Campbell, blood drives are scheduled routinely at the Main Exchange, Commissary and Blanchfield Army Community Hospital.
