330-PS-513 (USN 707682):  A well-equipped Naval Dispensary, operated with the efficiency of a big-city hospital, provides medical care for personnel of the Armed Forces and their dependents at Kodiak, Alaska.  The dispensary staff includes specialists who deal with all types of medical problems from rodent control to X-ray, dentistry, physiotherapy, and major surgery.  In every type of medical activity the Navy doctors and dentists at Kodiak are assisted by highly trained enlisted men.  During their tour of duty in the maternity ward, hospital corpsmen become skilled in infant care.  Shown above, Hospitalman First Class Thomas E. Slattery brings a one-day old baby to its mother.  In this case, however, it happens to be his own son.  Mrs. Slattery is confident that her experienced husband will be able to take good care of husky little Robert Michael, who already weighs eight pounds, 5 ounces. Photographed August 1950.
