Lt. Col. Jimmy Paulk, a psychological nurse from Gulfport, Miss., waits with patients at Pajimo Clinic. While deployed with the 7225th Medical Support Unit, Greenville, S.C., Paulk counseled victims of domestic violence and expedited special cases, such as ensuring that a family who had slept outside the clinic overnight was taken to the front of the line the next morning. U.S. Army Reserve Soldiers from the 7225th MSU and the 629th Forward Surgical Team of Columbus, Ohio, worked side-by-side with Ugandan and Tanzanian providers as well as U.S. Navy dentists to treat over 700 local residents per day, extracting teeth, providing medications for malaria, parasites and skin infections, and even issuing eyeglasses.
