We have a lot of upcoming Spring events! Join us for the following:

RMCOA is hosting a virtual blood drive. From March 1 to April 15, 2023, PHS officers, their family members, colleagues, and friends are encouraged to sign up to donate blood, plasma, or platelets at the location of their choice. Take a picture of yourself to show proof of blood donation (photos showing “I donated” stickers are preferred), and receive credit for participating in an RMCOA event. Details on how to participate can be found on the RMCOA blog here: Blood Drive Post. Each time you participate in the blood drive, you will earn a “lottery entry” into the RMCOA 2023 Participation Lottery. Only dues-paying RMCOA members are eligible to win, so make sure your membership in COA is current on 19 APR 2023. Get out and roll up your sleeves for a good cause!

The RMCOA Participation Lottery is back!! We will be doing a lottery on April 19, 2023 to encourage increased participation in RMCOA events. The lottery has incentives for newly commissioned officers, mid-career officers, and soon-to-be retired officers. The winner will have the choice of a scholarship to the 2023 USPHS Scientific & Training Symposium in Tulsa, a custom shadow-box for your PHS medals, or a gift card to NEX/UltraThin.

– Wreaths Across America Retirements

– PHS Athletics Horsetooth Half Marathon
