Milley, a nurse herself, toured Behavioral Health, the pharmacy and the Family Care Clinic. An emphasis was placed on family healthcare.
After the tour, Milley engaged with junior spouses. She has served as a Family Readiness Group leader at all levels of command and seeks out opportunities to conduct community outreach.
Raymond W. Bliss Army Health Center Commander, Lt. Col. Edgar G. Arroyo, said family readiness and soldier readiness are a priority for the health center.
