Happy Patient Advocate day!

Meet Beata, our incredible Patient Advocate with 6 years of federal service under her belt! Every day, she’s on a mission to make life better for Veterans—whether it’s solving problems, tracking down resources, or just listening to their stories and adventures.

Beata is all about breaking down barriers and helping Veterans get the care and support they deserve, both through the VA and out in the community.

What drives her? “This has been the best career choice I could imagine. I’m grateful every day to work alongside 700 amazing colleagues at the VA Medical Center and CBOCs, all of us focused on one thing: doing whatever it takes to help our nation’s heroes.”

We’re so lucky to have Beata on our team, caring for Veterans with her whole heart!

Meet Katherine Kerley, one of our incredible Acute Medical Social Workers who’s been with VA for 5 years.

Katherine does it all—she supports Veterans in acute and urgent care, coordinates care for those with ALS, Spinal Cord Injuries, and MS, and even co-chairs our Ethics Services.

Katherine’s passion for serving Veterans runs deep. Growing up in an Air Force family, she witnessed the sacrifices and challenges faced not just by service members, but by their families too. For her, working at VA isn’t just a job—it’s personal. It’s a way to give back to the community that shaped her and to honor the commitment her family, and so many others, have made.

We’re proud to have Katherine on our team, making a difference for Veterans every single day.

Today is Purple Heart Day—a time to pause and honor the heroes who were wounded or gave their lives serving our country. This day means a lot here at Oscar G. Johnson VA Medical Center, and it’s a chance for all of us to remember the sacrifices that make our freedom possible.

The Purple Heart, first awarded by George Washington back in 1782, is the oldest military honor still given out today. More than 1.8 million Americans have received it—each one a story of courage, loss, and resilience. The medal isn’t just a piece of metal; it’s a symbol of the price paid by those who answered the call and sometimes didn’t make it home.

To all our Purple Heart recipients, and to the families who carry on their legacy, we thank you. Your bravery will never be forgotten.
