SAN DIEGO (Mar. 24, 2021) A detailed photo of a patient being fitted with a custom-fabricated wrist orthosis, or splint, in Naval Medical Center San Diego's (NMCSD) Occupational Therapy Clinic Mar. 24. The splints are custom-formed to each individual patient to help them better perform day-to-day tasks. The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way many facets of healthcare are conducted, and NMCSD has adapted some of its techniques and practices to keep both staff and patients safe while delivering the high-quality healthcare they’ve come to expect. NMCSD’s mission is to prepare service members to deploy in support of operational forces, deliver high-quality healthcare services and shape the future of military medicine through education, training and research. NMCSD employs more than 6,000 active-duty military personnel, civilians, and contractors in Southern California to provide patients with world-class care anytime, anywhere.
