While Veterans Day was yesterday, we wanted to take time today to recognize and celebrate the incredible veterans who are part of Osawatomie State Hospital.
Your service to our country and your continued dedication to caring for others inspire us all. The same courage, compassion, and commitment you showed in uniform shine through every day in the work you do here.
To our veteran employees — thank you for your service, your strength, and the difference you make in the lives of those we serve. 💙
