00:09.100 --> 00:11.433
expeditionary medical facility or E . M .

00:11.433 --> 00:13.600

00:13.600 --> 00:15.322
healthcare for service members

00:15.322 --> 00:17.378

00:17.378 --> 00:19.610
john the Navy volunteered to take the

00:19.610 --> 00:21.666
mission on full time as the army was

00:21.666 --> 00:23.721
tasked to handle other operations in

00:23.721 --> 00:25.388
the arson area of operation .

00:27.540 --> 00:29.840
Now the army is taking back over and is

00:29.840 --> 00:32.007
maintaining the standards set by their

00:32.007 --> 00:34.150
predecessors . Navy Captain Turner ,

00:34.160 --> 00:36.493

00:36.493 --> 00:38.604
Says that the transition between Navy

00:38.604 --> 00:40.827
and army control did not hinder current

00:40.827 --> 00:43.049
medical operations . I think this was a

00:43.049 --> 00:45.104
great uh it was a great ceremony , a

00:45.104 --> 00:47.216
great event . Uh Both units have been

00:47.216 --> 00:50.340
together for about uh three weeks and

00:50.340 --> 00:52.540
we have had a seamless turnover of

00:52.540 --> 00:54.373
patient care . I don't think the

00:54.373 --> 00:56.096
patients even knew there was a

00:56.096 --> 00:58.262
transition going on other than one day

00:58.262 --> 00:58.060
there was brown suit the next day there

00:58.060 --> 01:00.750
was army suits coming in and Colonel

01:02.806 --> 01:04.972

01:04.972 --> 01:07.028
explains that the quality of medical

01:07.028 --> 01:08.810
service will not change . The

01:08.820 --> 01:11.042
communication is really , really good .

01:11.140 --> 01:13.380
We worked well together the easy piece

01:13.380 --> 01:15.920
of it , believe it or not , was the the

01:15.920 --> 01:17.930
medical piece . The patient care

01:17.940 --> 01:19.829
because doctor and the doctor and

01:19.829 --> 01:21.996
nursing is nursing . There's not a lot

01:21.996 --> 01:24.162
of different . The big , big challenge

01:24.162 --> 01:26.329
was in the administration part of it ,

01:26.329 --> 01:28.329
but that went off without a hitch .

01:28.329 --> 01:30.440
Captain Turner was presented with the

01:30.440 --> 01:32.551
legion of merit award for his service
