The head of Madigan Army Medical Center received a big honor when the USO recognized Maj. Gen. Patricia Horoho as its military woman of the year at a banquet in New York on Tuesday.
The Military Leadership Award is presented each year to "female service members who embody the USO's mission and values," according to an Army press release. The USO is an independent nonprofit organization that provides recreation and morale service to American service members across the world.
Horoho, who also commands the Army Nurse Corps and the Western Regional Medical Command, took over at Madigan in July 2008.
