Naval Health Clinic Patuxent River Corpsmen Support Community Emergency Preparedness Event

11 December 2024

From Maria Scott

The St. Mary’s County Health Department (SMCHD) hosted a drive-through Routine Potassium Iodide (KI) Distribution Event. The event was supported by 11 corpsmen from Naval Health Clinic Patuxent River as they assisted and prepared for a similar Naval Air Station Patuxent River distribution event scheduled for early 2025. A total of 1,000 doses were dispensed. SMCHD routinely distributes KI tablets to county residents living or working within the 10-mile emergency protection zone (EPZ) of the Calvert Cliffs Clean Energy Center for general community preparedness.
