Dear Public Health Service Officers,
It is safe to say these past months have been among some of the most tumultuous and difficult that any of us can remember in our lifetimes. The impact of the coronavirus outbreak has been felt by individuals, families, and communities across the United States and around the world. The Commissioned Corps response to this crisis has been extraordinary. As our nation is combatting the community spread of Coronavirus Disease – 19 (COVID-19), Commissioned Corps Headquarters (CCHQ) remains committed to helping the officers we serve throughout all circumstances.
Hearing from you, we have identified a third guidance series related to Commissioned Corps matters such as policies, training, practice hours, and deployment information. I recommend that you review the important information provided in the e-CMCS message sent out today.
Thank you for your service. We are one mission one team.
Respectfully,
Susan M. Orsega
RADM, USPHS
Director, Commissioned Corps Headquarters
