Corps Officers Staff Medical Tents at 4th of July Celebration in Washington, DC

On 4 July 2006, a group of 25 officers of the Commissioned Corps of the U.S. Public Health Service (Corps), under the leadership of CAPT Angela Martinelli and CDR Paul Anderson, staffed six medical tents on the National Mall from 9 a.m. until the crowds dispersed that evening. Dr. William Rogers, Operational Medical Director for the National Park Service, credited the expertise of the Corps clinicians for the low number for transports to local hospitals. Thank you to the officers who staffed the medical tents:
