This week, Tammy welcomes Lt. General Ronald R. Blanck, D.O. U.S. Army (Ret.) & Captain Kathryn M. Beasley, USN (Ret.) for the second part of a two-part interview.

General Blanck began his military career in 1968 as a medical officer and battalion surgeon in Vietnam. He retired 32 years later as a Lieutenant General and Surgeon General of the U.S. Army and commander of the U.S. Army Medical Command — with more than 46,000 military personnel and 26,000 civilian employees throughout the world.

Captain Beasley is a retired Navy Captain who had a 30-year career serving in the Navy Nurse Corps. Upon retirement from military service, she worked for a decade at the Military Officers Association of America, where she advocated for military members, their families and veterans on a range of healthcare issues at the national level.
