- Categorized in: Department of Defense (DoD), Navy, This Year in Federal Medicine - Outlook 2013
By Vice Adm. Matthew L. Nathan, U.S. Navy surgeon general and chief, U.S. Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery
As we approach the upcoming year, I am proud to say that the state of Navy Medicine is strong, agile and ready. We have streamlined the Navy Medicine enterprise this past year and look forward to meeting our mission of enabling readiness, wellness and providing healthcare to sailors, Marines, their families and our more than one million beneficiaries worldwide — be it on land or at sea. I am truly honored to be at the helm of this 63,000-person organization, which continues to provide world-class care, anytime, anywhere. Everywhere I get the chance, I highlight the many accomplishments of the Navy healthcare team.
