Cmdr. Paul Fawcett from Coast Guard’s Health, Safety, and Work-Life (HSWL) Center conducted a Twitter Q&A session about medical and dental benefits Wednesday.
Several topics held the majority of the questions, such as the new urgent care pilot program, how to receive care while traveling or during a PCS move, and prenatal care – just to name a few.
