VCU Health marked Veterans Day on Wednesday by honoring the service and contributions of veterans and active-duty military personnel within its workforce and patient population.
Hundreds of the health system’s employees are currently serving or have previously served in the U.S. Armed Forces. As Veterans Day is recognized this week, the organization expressed gratitude for the dedication shown by veterans, service members, and their families to the country, the community, and patients.
The health system maintains a focus on integrating military and civilian healthcare standards through various research, training, and partnership initiatives. According to VCU Health, these programs aim to improve clinical care for both veteran and civilian patients while fostering collaboration between military and civilian healthcare teams. Media outlets or journalists seeking further information or interviews with patients or staff can contact the VCU Health Public Relations department.
Marlon Levy, M.D., MBA, CEO of VCU Health System, said that the organization values the presence of military personnel among its staff and colleagues.
“From serving our nation to serving our mission, veterans know what it means to be driven by purpose,” Levy said.
“VCU Health is honored to have active and former members of the military on our teams and as trusted colleagues through programs like our Military Civilian Partnership. Working together, we learn from one another to improve patient outcomes and streamline processes for responding to medical emergencies in our health system and abroad. Thank you for your lifelong commitment to serving others.”
