I don't think you can make a lateral move from one branch of service to another. You'' probably need to finish your USMC contract first then enlist with the Navy.
one the positive side you won't have to do boot camp again

You can make a lateral move. There's been a law governing such moves for more than sixty years. You will need to go through both Class A Hospital Corps School and Class C Field Medical Service School, because the only career path for you in the Navy Hospital Corps is the Naval Enlisted Classification of HM-8404. Check with two sources. Your Battalion's career counselor over at the S-1 shop and the nearest Navy career counselor, either at Division level or at the Medical Battalion.

It is possible to make a lateral move from one branch to the next however, highly unlikely to get back in the same unit under the different MOS.
In order to move from Marines to Navy Corpsman, you should talk to your Navy Recruiter. IF the Marines agree to release your contract as long as the Navy picks it up.
Good Luck!
