Fort Sam Houston, Texas (PRWEB) May 06, 2015 -- The Civilian Corps of the U.S. Army Medical Command (MEDCOM) recognizes National Nurses Week as a time to honor the civilian nurses that care for Army servicemen and women, veterans, and their families every day.
“We recognize National Nurses Week as a time to celebrate the civilian nurses that are an integral component of Army Medicine,” states Dr. Joseph Harrison, Jr., Chief, Recruitment and Retention, Headquarters U.S. Army Medical Command, Civilian Human Resources.
