Friday was Organizational Day at Walter Reed, a legacy tradition tied to the Sept. 13 birthday of our namesake, U.S. Army Maj. (Dr.) Walter Reed. More than a celebration, it's leadership's way of thanking and recognizing the commitment and effort of staff who embody his legacy every day. #OneTeam #OrganizationalDay #WalterReed

United States Air Force Lt. Col. FaLana Gideon (left), commander of the 316th Inpatient Squadron at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center (WRNMMC) and Senior Airman Justin Andres cut the cake to celebrate the U.S. Air Force’s 78th birthday on Sept. 18 following Walter Reed’s Thursday morning colors. Formerly a division of the U.S. Army Signal Corps, the U.S. Air Force became an independent branch of the military on Sept. 18, 1947. The 316th Inpatient Squadron, activated on Aug. 23, 2024, is the first Air Force squadron to exist entirely within WRNMMC and is responsible for delivering health care, ensuring ready forces, supporting Airmen, and integrating Airmen within the Walter Reed team. “The presence of Air Force health care professionals at Walter Reed ensures that our medical center truly reflects the strength of the entire Military Health System,” stated Walter Reed leadership. #FlyFightWin #WalterReed #OneTeam
