Today marks an important day in the history of the United States Public Health Service (USPHS) Commissioned Corps. On July 16, 1798, President John Adams signed the “Act for the Relief of Sick and Disabled Seamen,” creating the U.S. Marine Hospital Service to protect against the spread of disease from sailors returning from overseas ports and thus began the story of the Public Health Service. Let's honor the legacy of the U.S. Public Health Service and the unwavering commitment to promoting health equity and well-being for all. #USPHS #PublicHealth #HealthHeroes #USPHS226

LT Bobea encourages others to consider pursuing a life of public service where you can use your skills, qualities, and best attributes to positively contribute to all those around you. She shares the following advice: “As you begin your public servant career, keep an open mind as every day can be an adventure and a new opportunity to make a difference. Be present, engaged, and attuned to the needs of the community you are serving. You will gain a new perspective, and this will aid you in providing culturally sensitive care to all patients. Remember that you’re never alone. We serve together and what we choose to do and how we take care of one another today will have an impact for generations tomorrow.” Read her #OfficerSpotlight: https://bit.ly/45psTvS #USPHS
