Naval Hospital Bremerton (NHB) Sailor of the Year for Fiscal Year 2019, Hospital Corpsman 1st Class Chad Galvin, takes a photo pause in NHB's Respiratory Therapy clinic. As directorate leading petty officer for Directorate for Medical Services, Galvin has carried out his responsibilities at the level of a chief petty officer in the largest patient care directorate at NHB. Galvin’s Navy career encapsulates the diverse responsibilities of being a Navy hospital corpsman. Before his current position leading Sailors in accomplishing multiple responsibilities, sharing his technical knowhow and assisting command leadership with administrative and communication tasks, he served as an instructor for the Joint Navy/Army respiratory therapist program at Fort Sam Houston, Texas. He has been assigned to Navy platforms in Groton, Conn., and Charleston, S.C., and deployed with Fleet Surgical Team (FST) 8 out of Norfolk, Va. Galvin has continued to demonstrate Navy corpsmen traits of being able to serve in a score of environments and handle the most advanced technology and sciences to support Sailors, Marines and their families. During his time with FST 8, he did two deployments – that included providing emergency care - between Sept. 2011 and Nov. 2013. He also deployed three times on the Military Sealift Command hospital ship USNS Comfort (T-AH 20) to provide humanitarian assistance to those in need (Official Navy photo).
