Walter Brafford, Commander, Naval Medical Forces Support Command & Chief, U.S. Navy Dental Corps (center), and representatives from Navy Medicine meet with health sciences recruitment leaders from the University of Missouri-Kansas City during Navy Week Kansas City in efforts to discuss partnership resources for future medical leaders. Since 2005, America’s Navy has come home to up to 15 cities across the country every year. The Navy Week program has served as the Navy’s principal outreach effort into areas of the nation without a significant Navy presence, with over 300 Navy Weeks held in 95 different U.S. cities. 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.
