Great energy at Fort Myer as @USArmy JAG and the U.S. Public Health Service teamed up for a joint workout challenge. @ADM_Christine and Major General Bobby Christine showcased their shared commitment to service, readiness, and fitness. Move with purpose, every day, for your health and for our nation’s strength.

Yesterday, @HHSgov approved the addition of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) and Metachromatic Leukodystrophy (MLD) to the Recommended Uniform Screening Panel (RUSP) following scientific review and public comment. Early detection of both conditions allows children to receive FDA-approved therapies at the most effective time, helping to slow disease progression and preserve their quality of life.
