Featured Patient
This page highlights one patient whose long-term, complex healing journey reflects the depth and scope of care at our clinic.
Joan was the first woman in U.S. Navy history to be deployed aboard a Navy combat ship in a civilian contractor role, after nearly four decades during which women had not been assigned to serve at sea.
​
Over the course of her career, she lived and worked aboard more than 100 Navy combat ships.
​
It was not until nearly two decades after her initial deployment that larger numbers of women were regularly assigned to combat ships.
One of the ships she worked aboard was later featured in the film The Hunt for Red October.
​
Her service reflects exceptional strength, resilience, and courage.
