Why Trusted Care?

Lt. Gen. (Dr.) Mark A. EdigerMark A. Ediger
Lt. Gen., USAF, MC. CFS
Surgeon General

"Why, then, Trusted Care? Simply put, because those we serve deserve the very best. They deserve the very best across all the domains in which our unique system provides medical support. As military medical professionals, we have a tradition of commitment to excellence, as stated in the Air Force Core Values. Trusted Care is our concept for applying our commitment in a new way – by applying principles known to lead to high reliability. The principles are adapted from aviation and nuclear power experts and from the Air Force Safety Center – all deeply experienced in reduction of operational risk in sensitive missions. Trusted Care will be a sustained and substantive change in our approach to our mission. The concept described will be the basis for our strategic roadmap to ensure the AFMS remains ready to provide 'Trusted Care Anywhere'."
