From Thomas Cieslak - Naval Health Clinic Cherry Point

In honor of National Public Health Week 2026, Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command celebrates our Preventive Medicine and Occupational Medicine teams.

Both play integral roles in “Keeping the Warfighter in the Fight” by ensuring the operational readiness of units assigned to Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point and the health of those living and working on the base.

The NMRTC Cherry Point Occupational Medicine team ensures the health and safety of service members and civilians aboard MCAS Cherry Point and their suitability for the various duties they perform as part of a unit or command assigned to the base.

The NMRTC Cherry Point Preventive Medicine team ensures the safety and health of service members, civilians and visitors aboard Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point. They often visit locations on the base to conduct health inspections and mosquito monitoring.
