Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command (NMRTC) Jacksonville, and its training units, have earned the Navy Surgeon General's Blue H — Health Promotion and Wellness Award for 2025, which is 14 consecutive years of earning this award.
“Being awarded the Blue H is a true honor and reflects the commitment and effort of our active duty and civilian team members, who deliver exceptional care to our nation’s heroes—both past and present—and their families,” said Capt. Craig Malloy, NMRTC Jacksonville commander. “Promoting health is essential to making sure our Warfighters achieve the highest levels of readiness and well-being in the world."
NMRTC Jacksonville received the award’s highest recognition — Gold Star level, for having 90 cumulative days of healthy behavior challenges each year. All NMRTC Jacksonville training units also earned the Blue H award; Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Unit (NMRTU) Mayport — the Silver Eagle, and NMRTUs Albany, Key West, and Kings Bay — Bronze Anchor.
The Blue H Award recognizes excellence in clinical primary prevention services, community health promotion, and medical staff health. The award assesses responsible drinking, violence and injury free living, healthy eating, active living, psychological health, sexual health, tobacco free living, and weight management.
Only 295 Navy and Marine Corps active and reserve units were selected for the prestigious Blue H award for 2025.
