DR. WILLIAM BARRY TO HEAD NASA'S OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH PROGRAM
KSC Director Roy Bridges announced today that William S. Barry, M.D., has
been selected to head NASA's Occupational Health Program (OHP). In this
Senior Executive Service position, Barry will provide policy, guidance and
evaluation of the effectiveness of the NASA program effort of nearly 400
health professionals at 10 research and space centers nationwide. Last
year, KSC was identified as NASA's lead center for occupational health.
Barry has extensive medical and management experience in hospitals, private
practice, industry and the military. He began his career as a flight
surgeon with the U.S. Navy, advancing to the rank of Commander before his
entry into the private sector in 1977. He served on the USS Midway and the
USS Saratoga during the Vietnam War and represented the Navy on the Joint
Service "Operation Homecoming," providing treatment and evaluation of
returning prisoners of war at Clark Air Force Base, the Philippines.
Following his naval career, Barry joined The Upjohn Company as manager of
Health Surveillance, eventually becoming director, Worldwide Drug
Experience. In 1991, Barry joined the Battle Creek Health System, Tampa, as
director of the Department of Occupational Medicine and Health. In 1996,
Barry took on the role of director, Occupational and Preventive Health
Services of Florida Hospital, Heartland Division. In these leadership roles,
Barry set strategic direction, ensuring the businesses grew while continuing
to provide an environment conducive to employee occupational health.

"I believe Dr. Barry's broad experience with both military and public venues
makes him an outstanding choice as manager of the Occupational Health
Program," said Bridges. "The role of lead center for NASA's OHP office
provides an excellent opportunity for an innovative physician to establish
an effective program in an agency involved in exciting cutting edge
technology for the 21st century."
The OHP oversees occupational medical clinics and programs in the areas of
health education and wellness, industrial and radiological health, employee
assistance, workers' compensation, public health, physical fitness and
allied occupational health. Major goals are to recognize, evaluate and
control health hazards associated with chemical, physical and biological
agents; prevent occupational injury and illness; provide quality health care
and counseling; avoid or delay the onset of premature employee death and
disability; assess and document Agency compliance with all applicable legal
and regulatory requirements.
Barry will be responsible to Dr. Irene Long, director of the Biomedical
Office at KSC, for administration of the OHP, but will also work closely
with the staff of the Chief Medical Officer at NASA Headquarters in
Washington, DC.
