Capt. Elizabeth Adriano, Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command San Diego’s Commander, and Command Master Chief Adolfo Gonzalez, NMRTC San Diego’s senior enlisted leader, expressed their appreciation and gratitude to NMRTC San Diego’s Ombudsmen, Morgan Markham, Kylie Gerhz, Jastine Dedios, and Jennifer Belding. These volunteers contribute to the success of Naval Medical Center San Diego, NRMTC San Diego, and deploying units.

Ombudsmen are Navy spouse volunteers who are appointed by the commanding officer and serve two main roles as both a link of communication between the commanding officer and families, and as a professionally trained information and referral specialist for the command’s families.

The Navy Family Ombudsman Program is a Navy-wide program established by Adm. Elmo Zumwalt on Sept. 14, 1970, to improve mission readiness and family connectedness.
