FORT HOOD, TEXAS – A Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center (CRDAMC) medical provider has been suspended from his position and is no longer providing services to patients. The Department of the Army Criminal Investigation Division (CID) began an investigation within hours of a patient’s allegations against this former medical provider. Fort Hood and CRDAMC are committed to providing world-class care to our Soldiers, Families, and beneficiaries, with patient safety and trust as the cornerstone of our mission.

Fort Hood officials are additionally contacting all patients seen by the provider during the provider’s tenure at CRDAMC, even if there is currently no indication to believe they have been affected by the alleged misconduct currently under investigation. These individuals will be provided with a number for a dedicated CRDAMC call center to answer their questions and provide additional resources should they need them.

Potentially affected patients are being contacted by Army CID. If further notification is required, Army CID investigators will contact individuals directly.

We understand patients may feel distressed and anxious about this issue, and we encourage beneficiaries to contact CRDAMC for additional questions.

The matter remains under ongoing investigation, and the subject is presumed innocent unless proven guilty. Fort Hood officials are unable to provide additional information at this time on any specifics involved to protect the integrity of the investigation and the privacy of those who may be affected.
