In recognition of its organized approach to promoting healthy lifestyles, Naval Hospital Twentynine Palms (NHTP) has earned the annual Blue-H Award from the Navy Surgeon General for the ninth consecutive year. Tanya Stuckey, public health specialist in the Directorate for Public Health, is being credited for compiling the Blue-H Award submission.
For six years, Stuckey has led the Health and Wellness Council, a team of hospital and social service professionals who brainstorm each quarter on how to maximize outreach in promoting family advocacy programs and healthy lifestyle habits.
The Blue-H Navy Surgeon General’s Health Promotion and Wellness Award is bestowed at three levels: Bronze Anchor, Silver Eagle, and Gold Star. NHTP was awarded the Gold Star, along with other facilities in Ridgecrest and Bridgeport.
