JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (Feb. 26, 2019) – Lt. Mariela Ventocilla, a physician at Naval Branch Health Clinic Mayport, checks a sailor’s mouth during a visit. Ventocilla, a native of Los Gatos, California, says “Having a brother in the Marines, who served two tours in Iraq, directed my path to the armed forces. I’m truly enjoying developing healing relationships with my patients and feel blessed to be able to care for people who have given up so much for the sake of our country and our freedom." Since March 3, 1871, the Navy Medical Corps has continued the proud tradition of the "Ship's Surgeon," who was part of the ship's crew since the establishment of the Navy in 1775. Navy physicians serve aboard Navy ships at sea, in aviation and undersea medicine, with Marines in field hospitals, and on humanitarian and disaster relief missions.
