LET’S GO

STRONGER Caring for the whole Veteran. That’s what the Ralph H.
Johnson VA Medical Center does for Veterans like Dustin
Bowen—who’s hand was injured by a mortar blast in
THAN EVER Iraq. After 12 years and 13 surgeries, Dustin made the
decision to amputate his hand. Our multidisciplinary
team approach helped him manage both his mental
RALPH H. JOHNSON VA MEDICAL CENTER health and physical changes. Our staff championed
him through each phase of recovery. The support
Dustin received went beyond the Veteran, housing
his family at our Fisher House during his hospital
stay. That’s why more than 80,000 heroes from
across the Lowcountry choose our VA - their
VA - as their health care partner. Come expe-
rience the compassion and commitment that
are making us a trusted leader for innova-
tion and quality in health care and Veteran
services. We think you’ll choose VA too.
