And, Congratulations.

🎉 Congratulations to Care Manager Mary Ann Mogel, RN! 🎉

We're proud to celebrate Mary Ann, who was recently presented with a Certificate of Appreciation and a commemorative coin from the Montana VA Healthcare System for her compassionate work supporting veterans in end-of-life situations, especially those with little to no support.

A special thank you to Francisco Hurtado, RN, MHA, NA-BC, Associate Director of Patient Care Services at the VA, for presenting this well-earned recognition.

Thank you, Mary Ann for your dedication, advocacy and heart for our veterans. 💚💙
