This service distributes medical news and information to Sailors and Marines, their families, civilian employees, and retired Navy and Marine Corps families. Further dissemination of this email is highly encouraged. Corpsmen and Dental Technician designators are identified in front of their names.
Dental commands located near the MTFs can expect a visit at the same time.
The Naval Medical IG assures the efficiency, effectiveness, and integrity at medical and dental activities. Its mission is to improve the quality of care provided to the public. The major benefit of the partnership is that hospitals will have one inspection to be concerned about in a three year period instead of two, said CAPT Harry C. Coffey, MSC, director of medical administration matters for the Medical IG at the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery. A tentative three-year schedule will be sent to all MTF commanding officers within 30 days. There are still some specifics to work out between the new partners in order to eliminate redundancy.
