Today’s takes us to your Cedar Park VA Outpatient Clinic to meet Sebastian Campos.

For 20 years, Sebastian proudly served our nation in the , with deployments to both Iraq and Afghanistan. His time in uniform shaped not only his discipline and resilience, but his heart for service. While stationed at the Army Medical Center at Fort Sam Houston, he honed his nursing skills caring for fellow Soldiers and learned firsthand the importance of compassion, steady leadership, and showing up when it matters most.

Today, Sebastian continues that mission as a Licensed Vocational Nurse, LVN. For more than a decade, he has helped prepare for their primary care visits, making sure each one feels seen, heard, and ready to receive the care they deserve. What may seem like a routine part of a clinic visit is, for Sebastian, a moment to connect Veteran to Veteran.

Sebastian and the Cedar Park team are honored to stand beside our Veterans every day, delivering the quality care they have earned through their service to our nation.
