Some things may cause Col. Erik Rude to wake up in the middle of the night, but one thing he said he never worried about was clinic leadership at White Sands Missile Range and its broad and diverse healthcare mission encompassing 3,200 square miles (roughly the size of Delaware and Rhode Island) and serving as the Emergency Response Team for Nuclear Accident/Incident Response Assistance.

That’s because with Lt. Col. Kirsten Swanson leading the McAfee U.S. Army Health Clinic, “she takes care of that every,” said Rude, Commander of William Beaumont Army Medical Center which the McAfee Clinic falls under.

Rude made his remarks during a June 27, 2019, change of command ceremony honoring Swanson as she departs after two years of command, and welcoming Lt. Col. Aaron Braxton II with full confidence of continuing to lead with the same level of excellence.
