When a patient shares a concern, they hadn’t mentioned before; it’s often because someone took the time to truly listen.

For Sarah Houser, service isn’t a checklist—it’s a mindset. Whether its clinicians spending those extra moments with patients to uncover critical needs, or administrative teams creating seamless experiences through clarity, organization, and thoughtful solutions, every interaction is an opportunity to go beyond what’s required.

Creating space for those moments is how SHR makes a meaningful difference. It’s what ‘service beyond the contract’ truly means—leading with care, accountability, and purpose every day.

💡 How do you go above and beyond in your work? Share a moment when listening made all the difference. We’d love to hear your story!

At Ireland Army Health Clinic in Fort Knox, Grace Howard is often the very first face patients see when they walk into the clinic. As an Administrative Assistant supporting physical therapy services, she helps set the tone for quality care from the moment a soldier walks through the door.

For Grace, serving at Fort Knox is personal. She shares: “My father was in the Army for 24 years and he retired here at Fort Knox, so Fort Knox is always close to my heart.” That connection is reflected in the pride, empathy, and dedication she brings to her work each day.

Working in physical therapy allows Grace to build meaningful relationships with patients throughout their recovery. “I see these patients twice a week, sometimes more. I can build relationships with them, talk with them, and get to know them and their families. It’s really special.”

Recovery isn’t always easy. Soldiers who are accustomed to being mission-ready may be navigating physical and emotional challenges after surgery. Grace and her team are intentional about fostering an environment that supports healing in every sense.

“It’s important to give people grace and understanding when you’re working face to face with them,” Grace says. “You don’t always know what’s going on in their personal life, but you know that they may be in pain. We want to give them the best care we can, no matter what.”

Her commitment to patient-centered care reaches beyond daily interactions. Grace recently played a key role in planning and implementing the clinic’s seasonal decorations, ensuring installations were completed safely and without disrupting patient care. Her creativity helped boost morale, ease stress, and create a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Supervisors received numerous compliments from patients and visitors—an affirmation of the positive impact she makes.

By cultivating a supportive environment, building genuine connections, and uplifting those around her, Grace helps every patient feel seen, valued, and encouraged from the moment their recovery journey begins.

Thank you, Grace, for the steady heart you bring to Fort Knox and for the role you play in delivering quality care to those who serve. 💙

We had a great few days at the 2026 USAFP Annual Meeting & Exposition surrounded by incredible people. From valuable networking to connecting over dinner with the team, we’re grateful for the conversations and looking forward to the partnerships ahead.

03/11/2026

The SHR team is on site at the 2026 USAFP Annual Meeting & Exposition, joining uniformed family physicians, residents, and medical students dedicated to serving our Nation’s heroes.

We’re proud to stand alongside the dedicated professionals of the Uniformed Services Academy of Family Physicians community and support the mission of the Military Health System.

If you’re attending, visit us at Booth 55 – we’d love to connect and share how you can make a meaningful impact on the health and well-being of our Nation’s Service Members, Veterans, and their families.

In federal healthcare environments—particularly across the Defense Health Agency, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, and the U.S. Department of War—quality and compliance are directly tied to operational readiness.

Joint Commission certification establishes nationally recognized standards. But in military and veteran healthcare systems, what matters most is how those standards are executed in high-acuity, mission-critical settings.

For more than two decades, SHR has operated under Joint Commission-aligned oversight models that prioritize credential integrity, lifecycle compliance monitoring, and workforce reliability.

Because in federal medicine, patient safety supports force readiness—and compliance supports mission success.

In recognition of National Dentist Day, we’re proud to spotlight Dr. Gary Alberts at Naval Station Great Lakes, whose dedication to clinical excellence helps deliver mission-ready care to many of the Navy’s recruits at the very start of their service.

🦷 Having practiced dentistry for over 40 years, Dr. Alberts spent most of his career focused on comprehensive restorative care and practice management. After decades in private practice, he sought a role that felt consequential in a different way. In his current role with SHR, Dr. Alberts shares:
“I’m able to use the full breadth of my clinical experience while serving a population that genuinely needs care. What I love most is the impact. Here, dentistry can be life-changing. For me, it’s deeply energizing to work with motivated young adults who are beginning a service-oriented chapter of their lives.”

Today, his focus is “straightforward but critical,” treating young men and women entering the Navy, many of whom have had limited access to consistent dental care. Through SHR, Dr. Alberts can devote his attention fully to patient care while contributing to a broader military mission. “For dentists who have spent years managing payroll, insurance coding, and overhead, this model allows you to practice high-quality dentistry without those distractions.”

That clarity of purpose has shaped both his professional and personal growth. “This role has sharpened my clinical judgment as well as broadened my perspective,” Dr. Alberts reflects. “Working with recruits from diverse socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds has deepened my appreciation for resilience and equal human dignity.”

With more than four decades in the profession, his philosophy remains grounded in care and service: “Dentistry is a lifelong craft and a stabilizing force in people’s lives. Service and craftsmanship can coexist.”

On National Dentist Day, we thank Dr. Alberts and the dental professionals across SHR whose expertise restores health, strengthens confidence, and reinforces readiness for those who serve.

From dynamic breakout sessions to impactful hallway conversations, this year’s AMSUS Annual Meeting has been full of meaningful moments.

At SHR, we’re proud to recognize the individuals who bring dedication, creativity, and passion to their work—both on and off the clock. ⭐

Meet Austin Preiss, Market and Capture Manager at SHR, whose commitment to connection and service extends far beyond his role. Through a lifelong passion for table tennis, Austin found an unexpected pathway into supporting military communities. In 2015, he had a unique opportunity to connect with U.S. troops overseas through table tennis exhibitions at community centers, inspiring his path into this line of work.

“This mission is what I enjoy the most,” Austin shares. “Helping patients at our MTFs, supporting military communities, and working with people from different backgrounds.”

From international competition to community-building through sport, Austin’s journey reflects the same focus, adaptability, and purpose he brings to his work at SHR. Whether he’s rallying at the table or supporting those who serve, his story is a powerful reminder that connection can take many forms.

And if you happen to be at the AMSUS Annual Meeting next week, March 2-5, we would love to connect with you. Stop by Booth #216 to test your table tennis skills and challenge Austin to a match. 🏓

Looking forward to the conversations ahead—see you in Maryland!

Caregiving is about being part of something bigger than yourself.

At SHR, our commitment to excellence is reflected both in the care we deliver and in the daily lives and values of our team members. For many, caregiving doesn’t begin and end with their profession—it continues at home.

Joseph Day, an SHR Recruiter and devoted caregiver to his mother, shared a perspective that speaks directly to the heart of what we do:
🔹 “Kindness goes far. You never really know what people are dealing with, how many responsibilities may be weighing on them at any given moment. By approaching every person and every situation with patience and understanding, you can make a huge difference in someone’s day.”

Caregiving requires resilience, flexibility, and empathy. The phrase “it takes a village” is more than a saying—it reflects the shared responsibility that strengthens families, teams, and communities. Care is most effective when it is supported, and caregivers themselves often need care, too.

At SHR, we recognize that reality. By supporting our teams and delivering compassionate, high-quality care to our nation’s heroes and the communities we serve, we foster a culture where care is shared, and every caregiver is valued, supported, and empowered to make a difference.

To all caregivers — at home, on our teams, and across the nation — thank you for your dedication and unwavering commitment to care.

02/20/2026

Every day, caregivers make a meaningful impact, often in ways that aren’t immediately visible, but are deeply felt.

They provide comfort in difficult moments, steady guidance through uncertainty, and compassionate support in everyday interactions. Their work is rooted in empathy, human connection, and an unwavering commitment to those they serve.

At SHR, caregiving is at the heart of who we are.

Caregivers embody our values: integrity in every action, respect for every person, and unwavering commitment to compassionate and quality care. They turn small gestures, into listening to our patients, and create moments of empathy, into stronger bonds that make our communities resilient.

This day reminds us to bring light to the caregivers on our team, who show up, stand steady, and serve with heart — day in and day out.

Today, we celebrate you. Thank you for the difference you make.
