Assigned to Harlingen Medical Center in Harlingen. Texas, Dr. Redeye provided care for COVID-19 patients.


“Our mission was to assist the hospital by supplying physical support. The hospital was overwhelmed, both staff and space were in short supply,” shared Redeye. As she prepares to return to her family and civilian employment, Redeye offered her thoughts on the historic mission she supported.


“These are difficult and unprecedented times, but it has made the medical community band together, and I know we will look out for each other better than before.”
