One great joys of faculty life is celebrating w/ students at the end of their formal education, knowing u played a small part in their goals. At @USUhealthsci, it's extra special as many grads will care for mil svc mbrs in harm's way & their families. I never doubt whether my job has a purpose. @usufamilymed @DeploymentPsych

The 2026 Health of U.S. Primary Care report is here and one thing is clear: people who have regular #primarycare are more likely to receive preventive services, leading to better health outcomes and lower costs. Read the full report at https://t.co/LirRdhSeU8
Thrilled to share: Our pilot study on using the Primary Care Behavioral Health (PCBH) model to deliver Brief CBT for chronic pain is now published!
Embedded BHCs made it highly feasible—with short-term wins in reducing pain intensity, interference with sleep/activity/stress, and improving overall functioning. @usufamilymed@painmc3@strongstar_ptsd @CDMRP

Your life matters. YOU matter.
Last week, I joined an inspiring DoD Child Collaboratory convening event, which brought together policymakers, researchers, military families, and providers focused on advancing care and support for military-connected youth with mental health, emotional, developmental, and/or behavioral (MEDB) needs.
The convening highlighted the importance of combining data with lived experience- because numbers only tell part of the story. Interventions are truly powerful when directly linked to the voices of families we serve.
We are committed to ensuring that every military child has access to the right care, delivered by the right person, at the right time and in the right place.
💡 Call to Action
Join us in advancing care and support that honor military families’ experiences. Please contact
