Navy Medicine Readiness Training Command Bremerton welcomed Rear Adm. Matthew Case, Medical Service Corps director and Defense Health Agency acting deputy director for a meet-and-greet familiarization tour, Jan. 12, 2026. Case visited such areas as the Mental Health Directorate, Main Pharmacy and Material Management department, and held a Admiral’s Call for [Navy] MSC officers assigned to commands in the area. The Navy Medical Service Corps officers hold 31 specialties, which comprise three basic branches to handle all those many responsibilities throughout the many Defense Health Agency military treatment facilities, clinics, and Navy fleet assets across the seven seas. The Clinical Care specialties include audiology, clinical psychology, dietetics/food management, occupational therapy, optometry, pharmacy, physical therapy, physician assistant, podiatry, and social work. The Health Care Science field encompasses aerospace experimental psychology, aerospace physiology, biochemistry, entomology, environmental health, industrial hygiene, medical technology, microbiology, physiology, radiation health, and research psychology. Health Care Administration consists of education and training management, financial management, fleet marine force, general health care administration, health care facilities planning, information management, manpower systems analysis, medical logistics management, operations research, patient administration, and plans, operations, and medical intelligence. There was also time to share with Sailors and civil service staff assigned to Material Management. “Thank you for what you do to support the mission. The challenges are plentiful, but we work together to solve any problems to care for our patients, whether it’s at a stateside MTF or on the battlefield. We could not function without the important work you do. Probably why I feel comfortable here in the warehouse,” said Case, who also presented Lt. Wilfred Flores with a challenge coin for his medical logistician support of Joint Task Force Southern Guard while stationed at U.S. Naval Hospital Guantanamo Bay, Cuba (Official Navy photo by Douglas H Stutz, NHB/NMRTC Bremerton public affairs officer).
