Lt. Jodi Carroz, an Emergency Department Registered Nurse assigned to Naval Hospital Twentynine Palms, recently returned from a temporary assignment at U.S. Naval Hospital Guam, where she provided critical emergency care in a high-acuity, resource-limited environment and gained valuable experience in operational medicine. Beyond her clinical contributions, she connected deeply with the Chamorro community, earned her SCUBA certification, and was nominated for a Daisy Award by her home command during her time in Guam —making the assignment both professionally enriching and personally unforgettable (U.S. Navy photo by Christopher C.
