United States Department of Veteran's Affairs

Washington, D.C.

Our “Client Spotlight” is on the Veterans Affairs Medical Centers in VISN 7 and VISN 16.

As part of the VA Healthcare System, VISN 7 and VISN 16 networks have been recognized nationally for providing high quality, patient-centered care to America’s veterans.  Medical centers in both networks have been recognized with national awards for their innovative service initiatives, high patient satisfaction and commitment to service culture excellence.

Chris Thrash and Associates has partnered with both networks the past two years to provide leadership and staff training as part of their annual service initiatives.  We would like to express our thanks to each facility and site-coordinator for the opportunity to be part of their journey of excellence as they live the Veterans Affairs mission to proudly serve America’s Heroes.
