Young Patient
Navy Lt. Eric Sulava, from Leechburg, Pa., holds a young patient at Trujillo, Honduras, Dec. 6, 2018. Sulava is serving aboard the hospital ship USNS Comfort on an 11-week medical support mission to Central and South America as part of U.S. Southern Command’s Enduring Promise initiative. Working with health and government partners in Ecuador, Peru, Colombia and Honduras, the embarked medical team is providing care on board and at land-based medical sites, helping to relieve pressure on national medical systems caused partly by an increase in cross-border migrants.
