Bedside manner at the ready... Lt. Cmdr. Thomas Kaster, Naval Hospital Bremerton Main Operating Room department head, has recently been announced as the assistant specialty leader for Navy Medicine's perioperative nursing community. Kaster, along with Cmdr. Lacy Gee, a former Naval Hospital Bremerton Main OR staff member selected as Perioperative Specialty Leader, were noted to be "competitively selected and bring with them a vast amount of clinical and leadership experience that has resulted from having served in a variety of diverse assignments and positions with ever-increasing responsibilities, advanced certifications, research, and presentations to advance the practice of perioperative nursing."
