About us
Are you passionate about delivering high-quality health care services? Do you have a burning desire to serve and protect our country from global threats? If you answered yes to both questions, then come check out the Defense Health Agency (DHA). The DHA is a joint, integrated Combat Support Agency that enables the Army, Navy, and Air Force medical services to provide a medically ready force and ready medical force to Combatant Commands in both peacetime and wartime. The DHA supports the delivery of integrated, affordable, and high quality health services to 9.5 million Military Health System beneficiaries and is responsible for driving greater integration of clinical and business processes across the MHS. The DHA oversees the delivery of health care services like the TRICARE Health Plan, pharmacy, public health, and health information technology. DHA carries out these operations using a global health care network of military and civilian medical professionals and more than 400 military hospitals and clinics. This network strengthens the delivery of health care to MHS beneficiaries by merging proven clinical and business practices and emphasizing the experience of the patient. Exciting changes are taking place as we are in the process of reorganizing how we manage the military’s medical centers, hospitals and clinics around the world, shifting administration and management responsibility for these facilities from the Army, Navy and Air Force to the Defense Health Agency. A single integrated system will support improvements to the readiness of our operational and medical forces to meet our missions around the world, while providing outstanding care to all of those who depend on us, on the battlefield and at home.

In October 1974, a young, registered nurse met with the Chief Nursing Officer at the Public Health Service Hospital in San Francisco for her first nursing job interview. Ms. Flora, as she’s affectionally known to her coworkers and the patients she cares for in the Presidio of Monterey and Ord Military communities, will celebrate 50 years of government service. Ms. Flora Dela Pena graduated from the Far Eastern University, Philippines in 1974 with her Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree. From there, she moved to San Francisco where her father was serving in the US Army as a Preventive Medicine Specialist. As a new citizen of the United States, she felt it was an honor to work in the United States Department of Defense health care system. Throughout her 50 years of service, Ms. Flora served primarily in California, but her fondest memories are from her overseas tours as an occupational health nurse for the U.S. Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventive Medicine-Pacific at Camp Zama, Japan from 2000-2005 and at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany from 2012-2015. Congratulations, Ms. Flora! Thank you for your 50 years of service and enjoy celebrating with your Public Health teammates.
