Abstract

The events of September 11, 2001, set in motion the broadest emergency response ever conducted by the US Department of Health and Human Services. In this article, some of the nurses who deployed to New York City in the aftermath of that horrific attack on the United States offer their recollections of the events. Although Public Health Service Commissioned Corps (PHS CC) officers participated in deployments before 9/11, this particular deployment accelerated the transformation of the PHS CC, because people came to realize the tremendous potential of a uniformed service of 6,000 health care professionals. When not responding to emergencies, PHS CC nurses daily serve the mission of the PHS to protect, promote, and advance the health and safety of the nation. In times of crisis, the PHS CC nurses stand ready to deploy in support of those in need of medical assistance.

摘要

2001 年 9 月 11 日的事件引发了美国卫生与公众服务部有史以来规模最大的紧急响应。在本文中，一些在那场可怕的袭击美国之后被部署到纽约市的护士提供了他们对事件的回忆。尽管公共卫生服务团（PHS CC）官员在 9/11 之前就参与了部署，但这次特殊的部署加速了 PHS CC 的转型，因为人们开始意识到 6000 名卫生保健专业人员组成的统一服务的巨大潜力。当不应对紧急情况时，PHS CC 护士每天都致力于执行 PHS 的使命，即保护、促进和增进国家的健康和安全。在危机时期，PHS CC 护士随时准备部署，以支持那些需要医疗援助的人。
