Holistic Health & Fitness

H2F is a capabilities-based, task and environment focused, Human Performance Optimization (HPO) program. HQDA EXORD 149-19 directs the Total Army to implement the H2F System. For the Active Component (AC), H2F provides Soldiers direct access to specialized medical and mental health care providers, athletic trainers, and strength coaches at the brigade level. The ARNG model will not mirror the AC model, while still accomplishing the desired end state of improving physical fitness, injury avoidance and recovery, nutritional health, and mental/spiritual resilience.

The ARNG achieves H2F Systems goals of improving Soldier readiness and lethality, optimizing physical/non-physical performance, reducing injury rates, improving rehabilitation after injury, and increasing overall effectiveness through a Directorate enabled and State/Territory led approach which accounts for ARNG unique requirements, opportunities, constraints. The ARNG will accomplish this through a blend of material solutions, subject matter expertise, federal and state resources, and health care professionals.

For all of our valued expectant patients enrolled to Naval Hospital Bremerton, Congratulations!
Your OB/GYN team is here to provide a warm catch and a warm handoff of support and guidance for accessing all your prenatal needs.

Prime Prenatal Visits – What expectant mothers can expect?
While some clinics may offer earlier first prenatal appointments, the first prenatal visit can usually be expected between 10-14 weeks of pregnancy.

What’s My First Step?
Once your pregnancy is confirmed, contact your primary care manager (PCM) team at our Family Medicine Clinic. Request a referral for your prenatal care.

What if there is difficulty getting a referral?
Call NHB OB/GYN for assistance, 360-475-4995

What if I need care before the 10-14 week time frame?
Should you require care prior to this visit, please contact your PCM team or NHB OB/GYN, 360-475-4995.

What if it’s difficult scheduling a monthly appointment with a community OB/GYN provider?
Your NHB OB/GYN team can help with your prenatal care until your community provider can see you. If you have any questions, please contact us at 360-475-4995.

What if I have questions and concerns before my initial prenatal visit?
For those who have questions or concerns regarding your pregnancy or health prior to your first visit with your prenatal care provider, call OBGYN at 360-475-4995; contact your PCM team directly using MHS GENESIS Patient Portal or call the TRICARE appointment line 1-800-404-4506 to schedule a visit to your PCM.

What if I don’t have a primary care manager?
For those who don’t have a PCM, or are new to the area, arrangements can be made by contacting TRICARE West at www.TRICARE-West.com or calling 1-844-866-9378.

Getting a referral takes how long:
Referrals for prenatal care can take three to five business days for processing.

What should I be doing when waiting on the prenatal care referral?
We advocate to set up your user account with Health Net Federal Services to personally manage and view your referrals as desired at www.TRICARE-West.com or by calling 1-844-866-9378.

What if I get a Referral but don’t hear from the provider?
If you have not received a call to book your appointment with community OB/GYN provider, contact their office directly. They should reach out to you after your referral is approved to book your appointment. The contact information for your provider’s office will be listed on your www.TRICARE-West.com account information page.

For non-urgent concerns and questions, you may also call the 24/7 TRICARE Nurse Advice Line at 1-800-874-2273.

The ARNG will approach H2F as a three phased operation, including defining requirements, experimentation, and implementation. The ARNG H2F implementation strategy is not a universal “one size fits all” approach, States and Territories are afforded the flexibility to experiment through the planning process. FY21 is a planning year for States/Territories to establish those requirements; ARNG requirements will be determined through collaborative, scientific, evidence based research and experimentation. States/Territories conduct market research, small scale pilots, and analysis IOT determine their specific requirements for H2F implementation. Concurrently, ARNG G3 Training Division (TR) will institute a multi-functional working group of industry experts, collegiate human performance centers, and Army professionals to enable collaboration and requirements development. This targeted and individualized approach ensures the collective ARNG requirement possesses relevance, scalability, ease of implementation, effectiveness, and efficiency across the force. The ARNG will report the requirement findings to the Chief of Staff of the Army (CSA) NLT 30 SEP 2021.
