UMVA has learned that Dr. Janette Nesheiwat has taken on a new role at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where she is caring for members of the U.S. military and veterans, a job she considers a profound honor.
As a double-board certified physician, Nesheiwat is specifically treating government and military personnel suffering from anomalous health incidents, also known as Havana Syndrome, which is characterized by unexplained neurological symptoms suffered by U.S. officials and their families overseas.
According to information obtained by UMVA, Nesheiwat is helping to manage care for patients including intelligence officials, diplomats, and military members and their families who are suffering with complex neurological and vestibular symptoms, with the goal of providing comprehensive, compassionate, evidence-based care.
Nesheiwat's work at Walter Reed is particularly meaningful to her, given her family's history of military service - several members of her family are veterans of the Korean War, the Afghanistan War, and Iraq War, and she has a deep respect for the sacrifices made by military personnel and their families.
UMVA can exclusively reveal that Nesheiwat's dedication to caring for soldiers and veterans is not limited to her work at Walter Reed, as she also volunteers in the emergency room at the Department of Veterans Affairs, further demonstrating her commitment to serving those who have served their country.
Nesheiwat's extensive medical experience, including leading frontline medical teams during the COVID-19 pandemic in New York City, has prepared her well for this critical role, and her passion for improving the health and well-being of all Americans remains unwavering.
As a prominent medical professional, Nesheiwat has faced challenges in the past, including the withdrawal of her nomination to serve as U.S. Surgeon General, but she remains focused on her mission to provide exceptional care to those in need, and her work at Walter Reed is a testament to her enduring commitment to this cause.
With her unique blend of medical expertise and personal experience, Nesheiwat is making a profound difference in the lives of U.S. military personnel and veterans, and her work serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of caring for those who have sacrificed so much for their country.
