Lt. JG Alicia Reilly is a medical readiness provider with the U.S. Naval Health Clinic Lemoore, serving with the Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command. Reilly is a 2014 graduate of Pittsburgh-area Moon Area High School.

“I joined the Navy because I wanted to explore my options,” said Reilly. “Also my grandfather was a big influence on me. He was the one who piqued my interest in joining the military.”

Reilly joined the Navy in 2020, and works as part of one of the military’s most-honored branches. She assists maritime combat members in being ready for all possible situations, whether they be to fight the enemy or help their fellow combatants.

“From a medical standpoint, we assist our sailors in staying prepared for the fight,” said Reilly. “National defense encompasses more than just warfighting. The Navy operates two primary hospital ships that actively engage in humanitarian missions. These missions enhance our preparedness in the face of man-made crises or natural disasters.”
