PRESIDIO OF MONTEREY, Calif. - The Presidio of Monterey's Exceptional Family Member Program manager was acknowledged with a prestigious "hero" recognition recently.
Linda B. Moseley was spotlighted for her leadership and organization during the Installation Management Command's April 15 Commander's Update Brief meeting.
Moseley, who was a 2013 IMCOM winner for the Presidio's the EFMP program, is the EFMP "go-to" expert for the entire Monterey military community and is a highly accomplished advocate who goes to great lengths to champion the EFM cause, Kevin Moore, Army Community Service director, wrote in Moseley's IMCOM Hero of the Day submission.
Moore wrote that Moseley's increased productivity of the EFMP Steering Committee by creating a "multi-disciplinary support team that includes all service branches (Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines and Coast Guard), thereby addressing broader EFMP issues and reducing substantiated cases of negative behavior by 65 percent."
While Moseley's accomplishments are vast, a couple notable achievements are her coordination with the local community for adaptive aquatics and for therapeutic horseback riding therapy for over 167 beneficiaries at no cost to the military.
According to Moore, the horseback riding program has increased the quality of life for over 300 enrollees.
Due to Moseley's leadership, local organizations such as the Kearns Aquatic Center and the SPCA local therapeutic horseback riding program have all obtained grants to provide services to military families at no cost. Moore wrote that this has been a tremendous savings for the EFMP families.
Moore also explained that the EFMP cases at the Presidio of Monterey tend to be very severe and more advanced. Examples include terminal situations, Doose Syndrome, spinal-cord damage, fetal-alcohol syndrome and sickle cell anemia. Moseley also deals with clients who are wheelchair bound, have feeding tubes and suffer from seizures. These cases require high levels of case management and higher intensity coordination with other service branches and their medical representatives, privatized military housing and local school districts.
