• Year in Review - A Look Forward
  

  For the Military Health System, 2019 was a year of great change; implementation of the new electronic health record, MHS GENESIS, was unveiled in several locations; administration of military treatment facilities in the U.S. transferred from the Services to DHA; a new DHA Director assumed his new leadership position; MHS continued its leadership role in Global Health Engagement, and several other high-profile initiatives spurred the transformation of the Military Health System.
