As we approach Veterans Day, we recognize the courage and dedication of those who have served, and the support that helps veterans succeed after returning home.

For former Navy Seabee Mason Hannah, his sense of service didn’t end with active duty. Now co-chair of our Military Veterans & Allies ERG and a medical secretary on our Social Work and Case Management team at Bronson Battle Creek Hospital, Mason continues to make a difference by supporting patients and fellow veterans.

In recognition of Veterans Day, Mason shared his story — a reflection of his time overseas, returning home after active duty, and discovering a new career in healthcare. His journey reminds us of the power of resilience and the importance of community. Read it here: https://bronsonhealth.us/mason-veterans-day
