Fort Belvoir Community Hospital has received Level lll Trauma Center verification after demonstrating its ability to provide prompt assessment, surgery, intensive care and emergency operations.  The recognition by the American College of Surgeons is an indication of the hospital’s continued dedication to providing high-quality acute care to residents in the region and the military health system, said Col. Kathy Spangler, director of the hospital.

With every spring comes the chance to recognize military children, as April is Month of the Military Child. It’s a time to honor military-connected youth for all their service, commitment and sacrifice that, ultimately, supports Service members’ missions. This year’s theme is: Military Children and Youth: Standing Strong and Proud. “It’s important to recognize these children,” said Kristen Acquah, Fort Belvoir School Liaison Officer with DFMWR. “Military children should certainly be celebrated,” she said. “We want them all to know their efforts and ongoing resilience is a very important part of the military family,” she said. “They are integral to our sense of community.”
