Steven A. Cohen Military Family Clinic at VVSD

11/19/2025

We ❤️ Our Mil! The Cohen Clinics at VVSD in San Diego and Oceanside are incredibly grateful to have hosted food distribution events for our military families last Friday.

Thank you to Veterans Village of San Diego (VVSD), Feeding San Diego and many others who joined us and helped make these events so special. Check out these photos from the events! 📸

We would also like to extend a special THANK YOU to Hope For The Warriors, the partner organization for our sister clinic in Jacksonville, NC, the Steven A. Cohen Military Family Clinic at Hope For The Warriors. Hope for the Warriors provided $6,000 in gift cards to military families as part of these donations last week, as well as the upcoming one at our Torrance clinic this Saturday. Their generous contribution was part of a program powered in part by Wounded Warrior Project® to honor and empower post-9/11 injured service members, veterans, and their families.

Check out this Military Times article highlighting how many of our veterans continue to serve today in various roles that make a meaningful impact in our communities.

One takeaway that we enjoyed reading was "Veterans Day is not just about sacrifice from the past. It is about the quiet, daily service that continues in every community. The country is stronger because millions of veterans wake up every morning still committed to a mission larger than themselves."
