Military hospitals would get help from civilian medical teams during emergencies.
This bill would create a new program to connect military hospitals with civilian medical teams during national emergencies, wars, or disasters. The Department of Defense would partner with hospitals and medical centers at at least eight locations across the country. This aims to improve how the nation responds to large-scale medical crises.
Today, there isn't a specific, formal program that directs the Department of Defense to create partnerships with civilian health care groups for medical surge response. If this bill passes, the Department of Defense would establish the Military-Civilian Medical Surge Program, partnering with at least eight civilian health care organizations at key locations to provide medical support to military facilities during various emergencies.
