PORTSMOUTH, Va. (July 26, 2019) – Capt. Christopher
Summary
PORTSMOUTH, Va. (July 26, 2019) – Capt. Christopher Culp, Naval Medical Center Portsmouth’s (NMCP) commanding officer, speaks during NMCP’s change of command ceremony. “If you look around you, you see masters of our game, you see heroes to our patients,” Culp said. “Because of this, we deployed a quarter of our staff on three occasions, twice with minimal notice. No civilian facility in America can put a quarter of their clinical staff out the door with no impact to quality or safety and minimal impact to access and convenience, but we did and it is in progress as we speak.” Capt. Lisa Mulligan relieved Culp as the 78th commanding officer of the historic medical center. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Kris R. Lindstrom/Released)
