Navy Vice Adm. Forrest Faison II, Navy Surgeon General provides remarks during the MHS GENESIS Recognition Ceremony Nov. 15 at Madigan Army Medical Center. The ceremony commemorated the deployment of the Department of Defense’s new electronic health record at its four initial fielding sites in the Pacific Northwest - Madigan, Naval Hospital Bremerton, Naval Health Clinic Oak Harbor and Fairchild Air Force Base.

“Less than one percent of our nation will ever wear a uniform and have a direct hand in safeguarding our freedom. Around the world today those men and women and their families are serving and sacrificing to defend us, protect us and go before great harm in every continent and every time zone, for the Navy, above, on and below every ocean," he said. "When they join our team, we make a commitment to them and to their families back home that we will do all in our power to provide them the best care our nation can offer. We do this in every time zone, in every continent, in every ocean. To be able to do that and do it successfully, we need help, and that’s what (MHS) GENESIS provides us.”
