Jillian Dunbar, an environmental health officer, poses outside Escola Municipal Indígena Meparacu, where the U.S. Navy team joins the Brazilian Navy and Army to exchange medical expertise and bring medical care to isolated communities along the Amazon River. The visit marks the last stop of a monthlong mission aboard the Navio de Assistência Hospitalar (NAsH) Doutor Montenegro (U16).
