    Irwin Army Community Hospital held a change of command ceremony June 17, 2024, where Col. Anthony D. Gray relinquished command to Col. Laudino Castillo. Medical Readiness Command, West, Commanding General Brig. Gen. Yolonda “YR” Summons presided over the ceremony before an audience of Soldiers, family members, the Fort Riley community, and local healthcare partners. Prior to his arrival to Fort Riley, Castillo served as the command surgeon for 21st Theater Sustainment Command at Panzer Kaserne, Germany, from 2022 – 2024. A Fellow of the American College of Cardiology, he served as the chief of Department of Medicine at Brooke Army Medical Center 2020 – 2022.

    With Castillo at the helm, IACH can expect continued improvement in medical care. He’ll work towards achieving high reliability organization status, with the upcoming Joint Commission triannual accreditation as a key step. Additionally, his experience with the U.S. European Command will be invaluable in maintaining the 1st Infantry Division’s medical readiness.
    IACH is a 47-bed hospital on Fort Riley that opened in October 2016 with the mission of supporting medical readiness for the units assigned to Fort Riley, especially the 1st Infantry Division. It also provides care to Army families and military retirees. The hospital oversees four outlying clinics, Farrelly, Custer Hill, Novosel Aviation, and Caldwell Public Health Clinics.
