SAN DIEGO -- Naval Medical Center San Diego (NMCSD) welcomed more than 160 service members, families, and veterans for the annual Wounded Warrior 5K Run/Walk, Nov. 22. The event, sponsored by Commander, Navy Region Southwest (NRSW) Navy Wounded Warrior and NMCSD’s Morale, Welfare & Recreation (MWR) department, served as a tribute to the resilience and strength of wounded warriors while promoting physical fitness and community support. The event drew a crowd of participants who ran, walked, and cheered along the slightly formidable course on NMCSD’s grounds. The event provided an opportunity to gather in honor of a cause most near and dear to the Navy family. In this photo Capt. Elizabeth Adriano, Director of NMCSD, addresses the participants before they set off, “At Naval Medical Center San Diego, we are committed to the recovery and resilience of our wounded warriors.” The mission of NMCSD is to prepare service members to deploy in support of operational forces, deliver high-quality health care services, and shape the future of military medicine through education, training, and research. NMCSD employs more than 5,000 active-duty military personnel, civilians, and contractors in southern California to provide patients with world-class care. Anchored in Excellence, Committed to Health!
