    Trusted Care is a concept used in Air Force medical centers to encapsulate the kind of care every patient deserves. It means taking the time to listen and form bonds with patients, and doing research before every visit so the doctor isn’t scrambling to remember who the patient is and what they might need while they sit in the office. It’s making sure each patient has a team they can trust to take care of them, and restore them to health. That trust was crucial to the progress and recovery of one patient at the Langley Medical Center this summer.
