Thank you very much for being with us today. The v. A. Is an important subject to talk about the area that people hear about but dont necessarily know details a lot of us dont understand of what the v. A. Does. So what brought you to the v. A. . You are very successful in a civilian career a lot of times making a transition from the civilian world into the government world can be daunting so what made you want to do that quick. During my twenties i had a chance to serve in medical institutions and in my medical training and thats always one of the real regrets that i had of this amazing country i could not give back so later in my career i was the ceo of a hospital and i had the opportunity to get a call from the white house in 2014 when it was a very public crisis of the allegations were veterans were actually dying waiting for care. So i was sitting there as a citizen that i feel terrible about this. If anybody deserves the best care possible it is our veterans they wish there was so
