2. He has 30-plus years of leadership experience in the Falls Church, Va.-based U.S. Military Health System, winning numerous honors, including the Distinguished Service Medal.
3. He served as the 36th Surgeon General of the United States Navy.
4. Dr. Robinson takes over a few weeks after the departure of retired Army Col. Lawrence Connell.
5. It was intended that Mr. Connell would continue as director permanently, however “issues regarding technical aspects of his initial appointment” made it impossible for him to do so.
