Costa Mesa native serves with Navy Medicine in Italy
Lt. Cmdr. Corey Housepian of Costa Mesa serves with the U.S. Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command (USNMRTC) Sigonella, Italy. A graduate of Newport Harbor High School, he earned a bachelor’s degree from the UCLA in 2010.
Housepian is from a family with military ties.
“My family absolutely was the motivation for my service as I had countless examples of inspiring veterans who answered the call to service on both sides,” he said. “My grandfathers both served throughout World War II, one in the Navy and one in the Army; my father served in the Army in the Vietnam War; and numerous cousins completed full military careers from the Korean War onwards.”
Housepian has served in the Navy for 12 years.
“As a medical provider, the combination of mission sets – healing our service members, serving around the world, providing medical services to those in need, and responding to natural disasters – really resonated with me and seemed to offer me an experience that would certainly be impossible in any other practice setting,” he said.
Today, Housepian serves in the Navy Medical Service Corps as a podiatric surgeon. He is the only Navy podiatrist serving in the U.S. European, Central and Africa command area of operations.
USNMRTC Sigonella / Naval Hospital Sigonella is a community hospital in the heart of the Mediterranean in Sicily, Italy. Comprising a local satellite clinic and two branch health clinics, USNMRTC Sigonella’s staff of 387 serves approximately 8,500 active duty, family members, NATO members, retirees and other beneficiaries based on international collaborations and status of forces agreements.
