Jo Ann L. Hodges serves as a key procurement professional within the W40M USA HCA, a critical component of the Department of the Army’s medical readiness mission. She manages the acquisition of advanced medical technologies and clinical support systems essential to battlefield and garrison healthcare operations, with a focus on surgical instruments, diagnostic equipment, and laboratory systems. Her work ensures combat medics and military medical facilities are equipped with mission-critical tools to sustain operational health and force readiness.
