As we review our sustainability metrics for Calendar Year 2020 (CY20), it is difficult to draw conclusions across the enterprise as the COVID-19 impact to our MTFs varied greatly, just as the operational footprint of our MTFs varies greatly. Sustainability is a marathon, not a sprint, and each year presents its own unique challenges. CY20 was truly a year like no other. MTFs cancelled elective surgeries, closed dining facilities, modified cleaning practices, changed facility air flow, and increased telework, amongst other strategies, to reduce COVID-19 risk and meet the needs of their patients. Our MTFs proactively addressed supply concerns within existing military supply channels, with existing vendors, and through collaboration with regional health systems. As a result, even under supply constraints, they were not short of needed personnel protective equipment (PPE), cleaning products or other medical supplies. It is with this lens we present our CY20 sustainability data.
