explicitly on national security and defense issues, I am committed…”
Over the course of the year, Elfreth visited 11 military installations
in Maryland, including WRNMMC. At WRNMC, Elfreth met with officers to
discuss the base’s larger needs and requests. Elfreth also sat down with
enlisted personnel and reservists, often without their supervisors, to
learn about their quality of life and understand the opportunities and
challenges they faced around the base. Then, she spoke with the
alliances of community and business leaders to understand their
priorities for the installations and the surrounding areas. SOURCE 2
includes the report. - More specifics for WRNMMC Visit: “In late August
we visited Walter Reed, the all-encompassing integrated system within
DoD that serves as a Level II Trauma Center in Bethesda. Currently,
WRNMMC is undergoing a modernization project to improve navigation and
operational efficiency on site. I met with Captain Melissa Austin, the
Director of WRNMMC, to discuss the modernization efforts and the role
Walter Reed plays in the community and for servicemembers, their
families, and veterans alike. After a briefing, I was given a tour of
some key departments on the grounds…” - From her 2025 visit, she states,
“After visiting Walter Reed and hearing about their challenges
connecting with veterans, I was determined to tackle the issue in this
year’s NDAA. I worked with my colleague Representative Derek Schmidt on
bipartisan language to strengthen access to medical care at
state-of-the-art facilities, like Walter Reed, for our veterans.” - She
added the following to the NDAA with WRNMMC in mind: “$70 million for
Walter Reed” AND the following “After including the language in the
final NDAA to expand access for veterans, we will partner with Walter
Reed and the Navy in implementing and communicating these services
throughout Maryland. ● While a designated Trauma Center, Walter Reed
can’t currently bill Maryland Medicaid for services provided, often
leaving families with high bills. We are looking to other states that
have addressed this challenge and will work with Maryland partners to
find a solution. ● Touring the IVF clinic was nothing short of
heartbreaking. Despite years of bipartisan efforts to expand IVF access
to more active duty servicemembers and their families, the measure was
once again struck out of the final NDAA. I am committed to continue
working with colleagues in Congress to right this wrong.

WRNMMC relevance: - (2025); Chaired a hearing examining
the readiness of MHS. “In his opening statement, Chairman Wicker
discussed the ‘peacetime effect’ on military medical readiness,
suggesting that there has been an erosion of physician capability and
expertise that could result in unnecessary casualties during wartime.
The Chairman encouraged an open conversation about reforms to the
bureaucracy and policy changes that could improve the standing of
military medical readiness before a major military conflict.” - Quote on
FY2027 NDAA: “Service members and their families will receive expanded
health care benefits. We strengthened mental health care and suicide
prevention efforts. The bill increases accountability within the
military health system and helps prepare it for service during potential
future conflicts. Throughout the NDAA, we reinforced the merit-based
personnel policies that made excellence, not identity, the pathway to
promotion.”
Issue focus: - “Senate Armed Services Committee
Chairman Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) said the Pentagon’s policy change to no

plans. - (2023) At a Defense Appropriations Subcommittee hearing
reviewing the Defense Health Program, pressed Assistant Secretary of
Defense for Health Affairs Dr. Lester Martínez-López on the stigma that
discourages servicemembers from seeking mental health support, and
whether DoD was working to change the perception that seeking counseling
harms promotion prospects. - (6/2016) Authored a bipartisan NDAA
amendment, passed 66–32 with 37 cosponsors, nullifying two provisions
that would have restricted the CDMRP, preserving DoD authority to
research the medical needs of military families and veterans and sparing
researchers weapons-system-level procurement scrutiny. - Served
informally as the “unofficial Ombudsman for Walter Reed” for Illinois
servicemembers during Senator Duckworth’s recovery there, giving
recovering soldiers his direct line and intervening on administrative
and bureaucratic support problems (as distinct from medical care) at the
facility.
