Sharing sentiments...Cmdr. Heather Kirk, NMRTC chief nursing officer, delivered opening remarks which included well wishes from Rear Adm. Robert J. Hawkins, U.S. Navy Nurse Corps chief, “Today our corps is more than 3,500 strong. I want each of you to know that the exceptional care you provide is making a tangible difference to those we serve. The nurse corps plays a pivotal role in selflessly delivering top health care to our warfighters, retired beneficiaries and their dependents,” wrote Hawkins. Birthday greetings were also shared from all other Navy Medicine corps chiefs – Dental Corps, Hospital Corps, Medical Corps and Medical Service Corps – and from the Navy Surgeon General, Rear Adm. Darin Via, who shared, “on behalf of the entire Navy Medicine family, it is my pleasure to extend my heartfelt congratulations to each member of the Nurse Corps on your 116th birthday. Navy nurses have always proven themselves adaptable and exceptional care takers and pioneers of both medicine and military.” (Official Navy photo by Douglas H Stutz, NHB/NMRTC Bremerton).
