FALLS CHURCH, Va. – Navy Medicine recognized five outstanding hospital corpsmen with the Danyelle Luckey Sacred Trust Award, honoring their unwavering commitment to patient-centered care and advocacy.
Established in 2022, the Danyelle Luckey Sacred Trust Award commemorates Personnel Specialist Seaman Danyelle Luckey, who served aboard the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76) until her tragic death in October 2016. Navy Medicine honors her life and service through the actions of corpsmen who embody the Navy’s core values of honor, courage and commitment while delivering care with compassion and vigilance.
“The Sacred Trust Award is more than a recognition – it’s a reminder of the profound responsibility we have to every Sailor, Marine and patient in our care,” said Force Master Chief PatrickPaul “PaP” Mangaran, director of the Hospital Corps. “These corpsmen stand out not only for their clinical excellence but for being fierce advocates for patient safety and well-being.”
This year’s recipients include Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class Hope Parawan, assigned to Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command Quantico; Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class Derek Kenyenso, assigned to the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75); Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class Oscar Black, assigned to Marine Forces Special Operations Command; Hospital Corpsman 1st Class John Frick, assigned to Strike Fighter Squadron 125; and Hospital Corpsman 1st Class Melissa Irvin, assigned to Naval Special Warfare Center.
These Sailors were selected for their dedication to improving processes, protecting patient welfare and fostering a culture of trust and excellence in Navy medicine.
The Navy Hospital Corps is comprised of more than 26,000 active duty and reserve hospital corpsmen that are practicing or training in 40 technical specialties. Hospital corpsmen are enlisted medical sailors who serve on the frontlines with our operators – whether embedded in Marine units, serving at military treatment facilities, or aboard submarines and surface ships as Independent Duty Corpsmen.
Navy Medicine – represented by more than 44,000 highly-trained military and civilian health care professionals – provides enduring expeditionary medical support to the warfighter on, below, and above the sea and ashore.
