Welcome to Navy
Medicine East (NME) IG Hotline official website. This homepage describes
Navy Medicine East's IG Hotline Program and is to be used as a tool for
information dissemination. It is an integrated system-wide approach for
fostering commitment to ethical principles and institutional values and
compliance with applicable laws & regulations. Fostering commitment to
ethical principles requires integrity. The term integrity refers to conduct
that meets ethical & institutional standards regardless of whether a law
requires such conduct. Compliance means acting in accordance with applicable
laws, regulations, and other explicit legal guidelines.
