The men of Medical Department insure that ROSlE'S crew is healthy and care for those who need treatment. Equipped with the total facilities of some hospitals, the services rendered range from caring for headaches to performing complex surgery. In support of the direct combat readiness of the ship, the department is geared to respond rapidly to medical emergencies throughout the ship, be it a single casualty situation due to accident or acute illness, or a mass casualty situation due to a major aircraft accident or actual battle injury. To ensure prompt lifesaving measures are available under these varying conditions, over 300 first aid boxes, 19 personnel casualty boxes, 5 battle dressing stations, and 68 stretchers are maintained throughout the ship. Equal to the care of sick and injured personnel aboard is FtOSlE'S preventive medicine program. The Medical Department inspects oncoming food supplies, drinking water, food service areas, food service personnel, heads, berthing compartments, barber shops, snack bars, and the ship's laundry. The overseas immunizations required in the Mediterranean as well as the hearing conservation programs are provided by the Medical Department. The many talents of the Medical Department keep FtOSlE'S crew ready to operate her aircraft, electronics, and propulsion plant whenever they are required. The Medical Department of the USS ROOSEVELT is, in essence, a floating hospital . The department has the capabilities of a medium sized hospital in the United States.
