Partnership that serves Veterans in California has a three-decade history of success
Partnerships throughout the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) add to what VA is already able to provide to Veterans when partners bring their resources and strategies to the table, the result is always good news for Veterans and their families and communities. One such “good news” partnership is between the VA Center for Development and Civic Engagement (CDCE) leadership within the VA Central California Health Care System and the nonprofit Central Valley Veterans (CVV). This partnership is especially noteworthy because it has been in place for 30 years. Other partnerships throughout VA can find inspiration in the longevity of this collaboration that offers Veterans so much.

Partnership assists Veterans with Parkinson’s disease
Vietnam Veteran nurse a Parkinson’s Foundation champion
Lou Graul Eisenbrandt was one of only 13 women aboard her Army-chartered flight to Chu Lai, Vietnam, in 1969. She, like many service members, had a limited understanding of the war as she deployed overseas (pictured above). She quickly learned why they were needed, once arriving on the ground.
The registered nurse worked at the 91st Evac Hospital. She treated everything from malaria to massive head traumas in the upcoming year.
“I saw pretty much every injury you could imagine, and even survived some early morning rocket attacks,” she said. “After coming home, I wanted to use my experiences to educate others.”
