VA Hospital Meeting

Today I had a great meeting with Suzanne Hawes, who is the lead rec. therapist at the VA Hospital in Syracuse. Suzanne and I discussed programs that the VA has on a national level, and how those do not have a direct enough impact on the individuals they serve locally. I presented the mission and vision of Move Along and how I feel it can grow into a great variety of both athletic and artistic resources for veterans to reintegrate themselves back into society after being discharged from both duty and medical recovery.
We also discussed the future opportunity to educate the medical community on the needs of those individuals effected by trauma, both physical and mental, and how it is a sensitive issue that is not given enough attention. I offered to provide educational in services in the future and plan on adding that as a program of Move Along.
The meeting was truly exciting and another great network for Move Along Inc. to look forward to building upon.
