Lt. j.g. Karl Cormier, left, an occupational therapist assigned to U.S. Naval Hospital (USNH) Guam, trains Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class Alexis Hawkins on splinting techniques. In addition to training the U.S. Navy physical therapists and physical therapy technicians at the hospital, Cormier led training for U.S. Air Force physical therapy technicians from the 36th Medical Group, Andersen Air Force Base, focused on splinting as well as essential inpatient rehabilitation skills. The training equipped therapists and technicians with the knowledge and hands-on experience needed to support patient care in both clinical and operational settings. Cormier has played a key role in expanding patient access to care and advancing joint medical readiness while elevating the quality of trauma and inpatient rehabilitation services. Through targeted process improvements and a focus on high-acuity care, Cormier has helped ensure timely, effective treatment for service members and beneficiaries across the island.
