🧠🦷🥦 BJACH at the CYS Youth Fair

Soldiers and civilian teammates from Bayne-Jones Army Community Hospital joined the CYS Youth Fair yesterday at Fort Polk to share hands-on health education with our youngest community members.

Nurses, dietitians, dental professionals, mental health providers and technicians engaged children in interactive learning focused on brain health, nutrition, dental care, responding to emergencies, and overall wellness.

Prevention starts early. By promoting healthy habits and health literacy in our Families, we strengthen resilience and support a medically ready force.

We are BJACH. We provide the best.

This week, we’re proud to spotlight Cindy Echeverri, Medical Support Assistant for the Orthopedic Clinic at Bayne-Jones Army Community Hospital, for the professionalism, compassion, and behind-the-scenes coordination she brings to patient care every day.

From jumping out of perfectly good airplanes to high-impact training events, Soldiers place incredible demands on their bodies. The Orthopedic Clinic plays a critical role in helping Soldiers recover from musculoskeletal injuries and return to duty safely—and Cindy is an essential part of that mission.

As the Orthopedic Clinic MSA, Cindy helps keep care moving by coordinating appointments, supporting providers, and ensuring Soldiers receive timely, efficient support throughout their recovery.

Her approach to service reflects her guiding philosophy:
“Let your soul have roots and your work have soul.”

👏 Thank you, Cindy, for supporting Soldier readiness and living C4 in action.
