VA Director Clark is an exciting person to talk with. She does a great job of explaining the needs for volunteers at our local VAs.

David K Dunning is the new director of what will be one of the Top Ten VA hospitals in the country when the new medical tower comes online in early 2022. It will be one of my goals during 2022 to interview as many of the top VA Hospital Directors as I can to get their combined take on what is important to veterans' care.
It is my hope that I will be able to talk with the leadership of each of the major VA centers in the year to come.  If you have suggestions please let me know.
