In describing the diversity of our facilities in Puerto Rico, Jorge Santiago, a Whole Health coach at the San Juan VA Medical Center, explained, “We have a Latino community, we have a Black community that work here, [and] we have a community of age 50-plus workers that need to feel their rights are being considered.”
At VA, we treat all employees, Veterans, their families, caregivers and survivors with dignity, integrity and respect to foster a culture of inclusion, but seeing someone who looks like them goes a long way in bridging the gap.
You’ll see a cross-section of our diverse Veteran population (and workforce) at our facilities in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. At rural facilities like these throughout the country, you’ll find teams ready to meet our Veterans wherever they live, offering unrivaled care and compassion to those who have served.
To support both our Veterans and our workforce, we embrace a commitment to taking the steps necessary to foster an environment where inclusivity and equity are woven into the fabric of our teams.
