Lt. Cmdr. Holly Berkley, an obstetrician-gynecologist at NMRTC Twentynine Palms, was named the U.S. Navy’s Junior Winner of the Award for the Advancement of Women Physicians in Military Medicine for her exceptional leadership, advocacy, and mentorship. Inspired by her early public health experiences and shaped by her time at Uniformed Services University, Berkley has built a career rooted in service, education, and global health initiatives. She has made lasting impacts at remote duty stations like Guam and Twentynine Palms by expanding access to women’s healthcare and training medical teams. From co-founding a medical education course at USU to her leadership within the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, Berkley continues to champion excellence in military medicine while mentoring the next generation of Navy physicians.
