DYK? Congress established the Army Nurse Corps on Feb 2, 1901.

Nurses were the first women in the Army. U.S. Army General Hospital at the Presidio was the first Army hospital to employ them. By 1902, 41 nurses were part of the hospital staff.

The Angels of Bataan were 99 captured Army Corp Nurses who lived in a prison camp on the University of Santo Tomas campus for the remainder of the war, enduring shortages of clothing and food while caring for other prisoners.

Angels of Bataan were freed in January 1945 and returned to U.S. where they were given promotions and awarded the Purple Heart.

Samaritan Stories: A Glimpse into Transformative Moments

Meet Blake, our dedicated Mental Health Peer Specialist. Just 8 weeks ago, Samaritan Center initiated a program in the Travis County Correctional Complex. Blake and our team visited the jail, spending valuable time with incarcerated veterans, providing them with resources and support.

One veteran expressed, “All the people Samaritan Center brought in have brought a wealth of personal and professional knowledge. Not one program has been this helpful for me since I've been here for a year.” Every instance we offer help or hope, especially to those in dire need like incarcerated veterans, is a testament to our mission. Join us in recognizing the impact of our outreach efforts. ✨ Help us continue to illuminate hope & transform lives: (https://ow.ly/Ak0e50Qknuu)
