I know this is a very very late answer but perhaps it'll help someone else checking the comments.

Strong Spirit is the key here.

Walk into the van the moment it stops and start mashing E. Don't worry about your life. Strong Spirit will prevent you from death if you're a few frames too early. You'll be left with 1 HP, but since everything on the level dies, lots of items start flying towards you so you often get to grab some medkits before the portal transition is finished. Blood Lust also helps although you'd probably want to avoid that mutation if you're going for the Captain. Either way the two HQ levels aren't too tough either so you can survive and replenish your health there just fine before you face the Captain.
