Over the next seven years, she led the pharmacies at Branch Health Clinic Bangor, Washington; Branch Health Clinic Iwakuni, Japan; and Naval Hospital Beaufort, South Carolina. After taking a year away from leadership to complete a Pharmacy Practice residency program, Commander Hellwig served as the Pharmacy Assistant Chief at the newly opened Fort Belvoir Community Hospital, Fort Belvoir, Virginia and in 2013 assisted in the multinational Pacific Partnership Humanitarian Mission. She also served as the Navy Pharmacy Advisory Board Chair from 2014 to 2016. At present, she is the acting Associate Director for Clinical Support Services and the Pharmacy Division Head at Captain James A.
