The "Love Seat" of the Army: H2F Facts & Future with Lt Col Lesher
Welcome back to Season 2 of Not Your Typical Doctors! We're so happy to be getting back to the grind of this podcast and can't wait to share with you all what we have been working on!
We start Season 2 with the man himself; Lt Col Lesher! He is currently laying the ground work for what's to come for H2F and has been with the program since the start.
Lt Col John Lesher is the current H2F physical domain lead at TRADOC HQ. He is a physical therapist by trade and went through the Army Baylor program. In 2005 he was honored with being one of the first PT's to ever deploy with a brigade and offer true embedded care while deployed. He then spent the following 7 years in SOF between Airborne and 1st Group as an embedded asset. He then moved into executing the H2F pilot at Fort Drum for the 10th Mountain Division which later turned into the full roll out a few years later.
Have you ever wondered by H2F was created in the first place? Did you know they modeled it after SOCOM HPO? Did you know there is a difference in how the pilot program was structured vs how it has been rolled out? Will there be an MOS for H2F?
This episode talks all things H2F and will answer some unanswered questions that have been keeping you up at night. We also talk future H2F!
