Leadership Federal Executive Board members tour BAMC

By Daniel P. Elkins Mission and Installation Contracting Command Public Affairs

Army Col. Booker King explains the life-saving advances provided by the adult extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, or ECMO, program to federal participants in the Leadership Federal Executive Board during a tour of Brooke Army Medical Center Feb. 14 in San Antonio. The tour was part of a health care services day organized by the LFEB that included additional medical facilities to develop a better understanding of federal community. The LFEB is made up of 45 class members from various federal agencies across San Antonio who meet monthly to learn from key decision-makers in both the public and private sectors. BAMC received national recognition in 2017 for its ECMO program, which is a heart-lung bypass system used in the treatment of affected organs. King is a surgeon assigned to BAMC.
