Louisville, KY, August 9-12, 2005—LMI was well represented at the recent Force Health Protection Conference. Steve Stone, program director of our Energy and Environment group, and John Yasalonis, manager of our preventive medicine program, hosted the LMI booth throughout the conference. In addition, John and Major Scott Mower, USA, who just completed a year at LMI through the Army’s Training with Industry Program, presented a paper entitled: “The Primary Health Asset Staging Tool and the Process of Identifying Critical DoD Preventive Medicine Infrastructure.”

The conference, which was hosted by the U.S. Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventive Medicine, brings together experts from the military, industry, and academia in the areas of environmental health, occupational and preventive medicine, and health promotion. Its purpose is to exchange information on the latest technologies and methods for improving USACHPPM medical support to our combat forces and the military managed-care system.
