The Defense Health Agency marked the establishment of the Central Texas Market, a critical milestone in once-in-a-generation Military Health System (MHS) reform efforts to improve the readiness of the force and the health care service provided to warfighters, retirees and military families, in a ceremony at Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center on September 29, 2021. The Central Texas Market will enable greater collaboration across military hospitals and clinics in the Central Texas region to strengthen the medical readiness of service members and enable these facilities to deliver better care and a better patient experience.

We will continue to maintain collaborative partnerships with the Fort Hood community and strive to lead the market in quality health services, patient satisfaction, and quality innovative research."
