Good morning IACH Patients,

To improve access to care, we are now posting daily updates on our page about same-day appointment availability, broken down into different categories. These appointments are for any patients assigned a Primary Care Manager at our main hospital only. Soldiers assigned to FHC and AHC offer separate appointments.
To understand the graphic, Family Practice encompasses any clinician that can see both pediatric and adult patients, Soldier Medicine is for those Soldiers assigned to Primary Care at IACH, and Internal Medicine only sees adult patients.

What do Division-I athletes and Army warfighters have in common? Both need to get back to peak performance—fast. In this feature, LTC Kevin Martin, an orthopedic surgeon with Ohio State University and US Army Reservist at Irwin Army Community Hospital, reveals how Fort Riley’s physical therapy clinic is using blood flow restriction therapy to do just that. By mimicking the stress of heavy exercise with only light weights, this cutting-edge technique triggers powerful healing hormones—helping Soldiers recover from surgery and return to duty stronger and sooner.

Meet Saint—the enormous, lovable dog who turns a Fort Riley Veterinary PSA into a blooper reel. While CPT Ashley Sturgeon explains why registering your pets on post keeps them healthy and eligible for care, Saint is busy licking her face, crawling onto her lap, and generally proving why vaccinations and registration matter for active (and adorable) dogs like him.

Learn why Fort Riley families should register their four-legged family members at the Veterinary Treatment Facility.

On Sept. 10, COL Laudino Castillo and the IACH command team toured the Fort Riley Commissary to gain firsthand appreciation for the inspections our veterinary food inspection specialists perform daily.

SPC Jeffry Desamours and PVT Evelyn Casales walked the IACH leaders the facility showcasing how they verify safe temperatures, monitor pH levels of in-house prepared foods like sushi, ensure surfaces remain clean, and even calibrate their thermometers.

"We left with a greater confidence in the safety and freshness of the food our community purchases," said COL Castillo. "Thanks to CPT Ashley Sturgeon, who is Fort Riley veterinarian and Veterinary Branch OIC, and her team for their professionalism and dedication to protecting the health of Fort Riley families."
