AETC medical leaders visit Keesler Medical Center
From left, Chief Master Sgt. Kevin Lambing, chief of the enlisted medical force at Air Education and Training Command, and Col. (Dr.) Margaret Matarese, AETC’s surgeon general, listen as Kendra Helo demonstrates how the radiation oncology department’s 2100IX linear accelerator operates, Jan. 21. Ms. Helo, chief radiation therapist with the 81st Medical Operations Squadron, used a box to simulate a patient. Colonel Matarese was making her first visit to Keesler Medical Center since assuming her post. For Chief Lambing, it was a “homecoming” of sorts — he’d been assigned to the medical center from 1989-1999. (U.S. Air Force photo by Steve Pivnick)
