Are you a student considering a career in healthcare? Are you great with people? If so, this is a great opportunity for you! "Candy Striper" volunteers will assist nursing staff on our two community living center floors by passing out water and snacks, restocking supplies, and pushing Veterans in wheelchairs to and from the dining area. This volunteer will also have the opportunity to visit with patients and play cards or a game or two. Opportunities are available Monday through Friday, mornings, afternoons and evenings.

Mission Statement
Mission Statement To fulfill President Lincoln's promise "To care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan" by serving and honoring the men and women who are America’s Veterans. Core Values VA’s five core values underscore the obligations inherent in VA’s mission: Integrity, Commitment, Advocacy, Respect, and Excellence. The core values define "who we are," our culture, and how we care for Veterans and eligible beneficiaries. Our values are more than just words - they affect outcomes in our daily interactions with Veterans and eligible beneficiaries and with each other. Taking the first letter of each word--Integrity, Commitment, Advocacy, Respect, Excellence--creates a powerful acronym, "I CARE," that reminds each VA employee of the importance of their role in this Department. These core values come together as five promises we make as individuals and as an organization to those we serve.
