🥳 Congratulations Employee of the Month, Sarah LeMay! 🥳

She was nominated by a Veteran who wanted to thank her for help far beyond what is part of her job. In fact, she wasn't even at work when this happened...

“While walking in my neighborhood, I suffered a cardiac arrest. I had been talking with a neighbor, who immediately called 911 and followed their instructions to give me CPR. He was doing the best he could, but it had been a long time since he had any class regarding proper procedures.

Fortunately, Sarah observed me laying on the ground and came over to assist. Sarah is a Madison VA pharmacist who recently took the emergency CPR course. She pitched in and continued CPR until the ambulance arrived. I survived the incident and seem to be recovering with minimal aftereffects.

The staff at Madison VA have provided exceptional care since then, but without Sarah, there would have been no life after the event. Thank you, Sarah.”

Thanks to Megan Marshall- Spectrum News for this great piece on U.S. Marine Corps Veteran Frank Goulet. He was homeless on the east coast four years ago, but thanks to the support of his daughter, niece and one of his friends, he worked with Madison VA's homeless program and is thriving in Madison. 🇺🇸

In 2025, Wisconsin VA hospitals helped house around 600 homeless veterans.
