🌍🐾 World Rabies Day – Sept. 28 🐾🌍

Rabies is 100% preventable, yet it still claims lives every year around the world. The key is prevention, awareness, and quick action if exposed.

✅ Avoid contact with wild or stray animals
✅ Vaccinate your pets
✅ If bitten or scratched, wash thoroughly and report to the nearest Emergency Department immediately

Together, we can make rabies a disease of the past. 💪

💼✨ Happy HR Professional Day! ✨💼

Today we pause to celebrate the unsung heroes of Bayne-Jones Army Community Hospital — our incredible HR team!

As our Military HR Supervisor Beatrice Hurey reminded us, “HR is the foundation of an organization — without HR we don’t have anything else.” 💜

From Soldier in-processing to civilian hiring, payroll, benefits, and everything in between, you keep BJACH running and our team cared for. Your work may be behind the scenes, but its impact is felt everywhere.

📸 Here’s a look at today’s celebration — gift bags, breakfast, and big smiles. Thank you for all you do to take care of our team so we can take care of Soldiers and Families. 🫡💜

Today we celebrated the retirement of Sharon McDaniel and Nora Lowers, who together devoted 63 years of combined federal service to Soldiers, Families, and our community. From bedside nursing to managed care and referrals, Sharon and Nora have been the heart of access to care at BJACH.

COL Miller praised their legacy, reminding us that what they have done will impact families for generations to come. We are grateful for their dedication, mentorship, and compassion. Wishing them both a joyful and well-deserved retirement! 💐

Yesterday, COL Patrick Miller, Commander of Bayne-Jones Army Community Hospital, joined BG Jason Curl, Commanding General of JRTC and Fort Polk, to brief the Honorable Mike Johnson, Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, during his visit to Fort Polk.

COL Miller highlighted BJACH’s mission, capabilities, and challenges — emphasizing the importance of prioritizing effectiveness over efficiency, sustaining inpatient care, and strengthening DoD/VA collaboration. These priorities ensure that BJACH delivers exceptional healthcare to Soldiers, Families, and our surrounding community, directly supporting the readiness mission at JRTC and Fort Polk.

We were grateful for the opportunity to share BJACH’s story and to reinforce Army Medicine’s vital role in building and sustaining the force.
