Cuts to Redstone’s Fox Army Health Center face hurdles
Summary
Fox is one of about 50 centers out of 343 Army medical facilities the Pentagon wants to downsize to prioritize care for armed forces around the world. “Congress may adopt, reject or amend the Pentagon’s recommendations and the proposed changes do not automatically or immediately take effect,” U.S. Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Huntsville) said in a statement Friday afternoon. A: Fox Army Health Center commander Col. Anthony Meador issued a statement at a press briefing Friday but did not take questions. “The bottom line is the priority of top shelf health care for our patients.” Q: Realistically, what could this mean for Fox users? “I will work to ensure military service members, active-duty and retired, and their families receive convenient, quality health care,” Brooks said.
