John Adams Society
In 1798, President Johns Adams signed into law the Act for the Relief of Sick and Disabled Seamen. It was the seed of what grew into today's strong U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps.
Members of the John Adams Society decided to plant their own seeds supporting the growth of the PHS Commissioned Officers Foundation. They chose to bequeath funds to the Foundation. You can join the John Adams Society as well.
Members: CAPT John J. Bartko, CAPT Rita K. Chow, CAPT Robert L. Lathrop
