SAN DIEGO (Jan. 12, 2020) Plastic surgeons assigned to Naval Medical Center San Diego (NMCSD) prepare a patient for a skin graft procedure in one of the hospital's operating rooms Jan. 12. Skin grafting is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of skin from one area of the body, and transplanting it to another. The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way many facets of healthcare are conducted, and NMCSD has adapted some of its techniques and practices to keep both staff and patients safe while delivering the high-quality healthcare they've come to expect. NMCSD's mission is to prepare service members to deploy in support of operational forces, deliver high quality healthcare services and shape the future of military medicine through education, training and research. NMCSD employs more than 6,000 active duty military personnel, civilians, and contractors in Southern California to provide patients with world-class care anytime, anywhere.
