The 2010 Beneficiary Counseling and Assistance Coordinator (BCAC) and 2010 Debt Collection Assistance Officer (DCAO) of the Year Awards are two honorary awards given annually by MEDCOM to recognize two individuals for outstanding contribution as a BCAC and DCAO. The Regional Medical Commands submitted their nominations and MEDCOM convened a special board to select the 2010 BCAC and DCAO of the Year winners. Ms. Nadine Hill, Heidelberg MEDDAC, Heidelberg, Germany, Europe Regional Medical Command, was selected as the 2010 AMEDD BCAC of the Year winner. Ms. Kimberly Everett, Guthrie Army Health Center, Ft Drum, NY, Northern Regional Medical Command, was selected as the 2010 AMEDD DCAO of the Year winner. Their extensive knowledge of the Military Health System (MHS) and relentless dedication in responding to the needs of our beneficiaries reflects highly upon them, the AMEDD and the United States Army. This year was the first year that MEDCOM awards a monetary award. Each winner received a $2,000.00 monetary award (Special Act Award) which was presented by The Surgeon General at the 2011 MHS Conference during the Army Breakout Awards presentation.
