The US Army has opened a hotline to provide Soldiers Wounded and injured for them and their families to call with a resource to obtain outpatient related assistance regarding issues they have not been able to resolve through their own chain of command or medical facility.

To capture timely and accurate information from Soldiers and their families on quality outpatient care in order to ensure prompt and thorough responses to concerns and to increase the reality and perception of Soldiers receiving timely and quality care, is the reason for the hotline.

The Wounded Soldiers and Family Hotline went live on Monday, March 19, 2007 and will be initially staffed 7AM to 7PM (EDT) Monday through Friday with personnel who will relay Soldiers concerns to Senior Army leaders so that resources can be properly allocated. The hotline hours will eventually be expanded to 24 hours a day, seven days a week as additional personnel are trained to receive calls and refer them to the proper organizations or agency for resolution.
