We lost a treasure...Jack Hall passed away last week at 102.

He received a Distinguished Service Cross and Purple Heart for his actions during World War II. In 2023, he met former Secretary of VA Denis McDonough during his visit to Madison VA on June 6th - the anniversary of the World War II invasion of Normandy, France. On that 1944 day, Hall was liberating Rome, Italy. (see first comment below for the story)

May he rest in peace as we remember the memories he left with so many people. 🇺🇸🫡

🏆 Congratulations to our Employee of the Month Joe Pagliaro🏆

Joe was nominated for exemplifying our VA core values of integrity, commitment, advocacy, respect and excellence. He provides top-notch customer service to medical health profession trainees while facilitating their onboarding and goes out of his way to care for Veterans around the hospital.

As he was leaving work one day, Joe heard a Veteran calling for help in the restroom. Without hesitation, he assisted the Veteran who had fallen, making sure he was okay, helping him get cleaned up and transferred back into his wheelchair. He ensured the Veteran didn’t need further assistance and took extra time to accompany him to the appropriate location where his ride was waiting.

Through his actions, Joe embodies our ICARE values, positively impacting individuals and our organization.

Join us in congratulating our newest Employee of the Month! 🙌
