Support Veteran independence as an Occupational Therapist  

Each Fourth of July, we celebrate America’s birthday, remembering when the United States claimed its independence from England in 1776. Beyond the fireworks and backyard barbeques, it’s also a day to reflect on our Veterans and how their heroic efforts have contributed to keeping America a free country. For some, protecting that freedom has come at a cost. Many Veterans face unique physical, emotional and cognitive challenges as a result of their military service.  

At VA, we continuously honor and celebrate our Veterans and work diligently to provide the best care to those who served. You can do the same by joining our team as an occupational therapist, championing the independence, health and happiness of Veterans across the nation.
