Fresh Focus Episode #100It’s hard to believe it, but we’ve made it to our 100th episode! This milestone wouldn’t have been possible without our incredible Veterans and their family members who listen to our episodes and support Fresh Focus. As we look back, we are filled with gratitude and amazement at our episodes that have been full of insightful conversations and inspiring stories. To celebrate our 100th episode, we have invited a special guest to join us that you won’t want to miss. Listen to the Marion VA Health Care System Executive Director, Mr. Zach Sage, as he shares his love of working with Veterans and his history with the VA. He discusses how Marion, IL VA is committed to providing Veterans with safe, high-quality care they have earned and deserve. He shares his story of working his way up to becoming an Executive Director and how he has made personal lifestyle changes to focus on his own health and well-being, so he feels healthier, is able to be there for his family and do the job he needs to do to support our Veterans. He is looking forward to embracing technology and improving standard of care for staff to be able to serve Veterans to the best of his ability.
