<p>By Lt. Hope Nicole Blythe Moore, General Medical Officer, Surface Warfare Medical Institute<br><br>Women make up at least 17 percent of today’s Navy and Marine Corps team, making their health essential to force readiness. This also makes women’s health a critical readiness component of any shipboard medical department. At SWMI, we make it our business to ensure our shipboard female Sailors are fit and ready to deploy so they can do their important work of keeping our sea lanes free lanes. We do this in large part by training and preparing Surface IDCs and Surface Medical Officers to serve on ships at sea.<br></p>
