Overview

Few things inspire pride and esprit-de-corps more than the U.S. Public Health Service (USPHS) uniform. By wearing the uniform, Commissioned Corps Officers display a profound respect for their country, their service, and themselves. Uniforms promote the visibility and credibility of the Commissioned Corps to the public and the Nation’s underserved populations whom officers are devoted to serving.

Although the Health Service Officers are involved in a wide variety of disciplines, we excel to be unified and visible, wearing the uniform daily with pride, professionalism, and distinction. The HSPAC Uniform Readiness webpage gives a comprehensive resource to be ready and presentable, anytime, and anywhere because we are “#WeAreCorpsSTRONG”.
