U.S. Army Reserve Staff Sgt. Benjamin Houston, biomedical equipment medical repair technician from the 1984th U.S. Army Hospital-Pacific, fabricated a device to hold the detector for the x-ray machine at the Calvo Field House at the University of Guam during the Guam Wellness Innovative Readiness Training, Aug. 2-10. Without this necessary device, chest x-rays could not be completed. It is used in conjunction with the detector to rule out tuberculosis and assess active infection versus non-active tuberculosis. Guam Wellness Innovative Readiness Training (IRT) is a joint multicomponent and interagency program with the Department of Defense and the Department of Public Health and Social Services that leverages military contributions and community resources to multiply value and cost savings for participants. The Guam IRT provides no cost healthcare services, ranging from medical, dental, optometry, and immunizations, to the communities of Guam, Aug. 2-10, 2023. (U.S. Army Reserve Photo by Maj.
