Claudia’s presence fosters an environment that engenders excellence and pride among all of those she touches. She leads with confidence and compassion.
As the lead Immunization Nurse, Claudia orders the clinic’s monthly vaccine requirements through USAMMCE and organizes the Annual Influenza Campaign for the community and retirees, over 3,000 beneficiaries.
Not an easy task, Claudia provides education to the entire clinic Nursing staff, over 10 medics from across tenant FORSCOM units, ensuring all medical professionals are certified and trained to administer the Influenza vaccine to an Adult and Pediatric population.
It is evident that Claudia Aikens deftly extends her influence not only on the Soldiers, Local National employees, and Civilians, but on her peers and subordinates across the clinic and in the community. Her leadership undoubtedly leaves a lasting impact on the Army Healthcare System.
When it comes to community, Claudia has volunteered year after year to help host the Host Nation Day, inviting over 40 different host nation medical professionals from Germany, the Netherlands, and Ireland.
