Ensuring Access to Essential Women’s Health Care Services for Service Members, Dependents, Beneficiaries, and Department of Defense Civilian Employees

Excerpt: “On Friday, the Supreme Court issued its opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. This decision will have significant implications for our Service members, dependents, other beneficiaries of DoD health care services, and civilian employees, as well as the readiness of the Force. As Secretary Austin has made clear, nothing is more important than the health and well-being of our Service members, the civilian workforce, and DoD families, and we are committed to taking care of all of our people and ensuring that the entire force remains ready and resilient.”
