Nurse Corps celebrates 103 years of service

Lt. Cmdr. Stella Annunziato, Robert M. Casey Medical and Dental Clinic education and training urgent care clinic department head of staff, Navy Lt. Sarah E. Gentry, Branch Health Clinic staff nurse, Cmdr. Sherri R. Coleman, BHC senior nurse officer, and Navy Lt. Beverly J. Torres, BHC staff nurse, cut a cake celebrating the 103rd birthday of the Navy Nurse Corps at the BHC here May 13. The Nurse Corps has aided service members in times of war, providing medical care and comfort for all service branches. The Nurse Corps’ rich tradition can be traced back to the Angels of Bataan, the first group of female service members taken as prisoners of war during World War II.
