It’s our Mother’s Day program and Dr. Joe Sirven delves into stories of strength, resilience and healing. He first speaks with retired U.S. Navy Capt. Rosemary Perdue, director of the visiting nurse program for the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society, about the unique challenges new moms in the military face. Perdue leads First Year Focus, an initiative that brings compassion, connection and critical care to mothers whose jobs sometimes include frequent moves and deployments.
