Ready for more? You can find new episodes every Wednesday each time a TRICARE podcast series starts. The next podcast series, “Take Command of Your Health,” kicked off today with an
interview with Dr. James Black, who is the medical director of the Clinical Support Division at the Defense Health Agency. You’ll hear Dr. Black talk about TRICARE preventive health services and why they’re one of the keys to healthy living.
“Early detection certainly saves lives, increases treatment options, and can even save you money,” Dr. Black said. “Just because you feel young and healthy doesn’t mean that preventive screenings aren’t an important part of the health care that’s offered to you.”
