Dear Public Health Service Officers:
Please join the Deputy Surgeon General, RADM Erica Schwartz, and Commissioned Corps Headquarters Director, RADM Susan Orsega, along with your Chief Professional Officers for a two-day Town Hall event on Tuesday, September 22nd and Thursday, September 24th. We have received many questions from officers regarding critical issues impacting the Corps. We have heard your concerns and would like to take the time to address all the issues that were raised.
This is a two part Town Hall event. It is not mandatory for officers to attend the entire two-day session or any of the sessions. It is completely voluntary. Please review the agenda below and attend any portions that are of particular interest to you.
For those that cannot attend, please note that this Town Hall will be recorded and made available after the two-day session along with the written questions and answers.
