Donald A. Donahue, Jr., DHEd, Director of the Potomac Institute for Policy Studies Center for Health Policy and Preparedness, says the BP oil spill will present a fresh challenge to public health systems and care delivery in the region. Dr. Donahue and Dr. Richard Carmona, 17th Surgeon General of the United States and a member of the CHPP advisory board, are co-authors of a Guest Commentary in the July 12 issue of Modern Healthcare, a leading magazine for healthcare practitioners. Drs. Carmona and Donahue write that allocating medical care resources to those who most need them when a disaster strikes is a delicate balancing act, and that the oil spill is likely to be no exception.

The Potomac Institute for Policy Studies' Col. Vincent J. Goulding, USMC (Ret.), is assigned under the Intergovernmental Personnel Act (IPA) as Director of Experiment Division at the Marine Corps Warfighting Lab, Quantico, VA. In a letter to the editor of the Los Angeles Times, he reacts to a Times article that questioned whether traditional Marine Corps amphibious operations are a thing of the past. Goulding argues that far from being mired in the past, the Marine Corps is constantly working to update the amphibious capabilities he describes as a "longstanding U.S. strategic requirement."
