Living Healthy and Aging Well – May 17, 2025

Simone Hogan, Senior Director of Veterans Healthcare at the Minnesota
Department of Veteran Affairs (MDVA), and Steve McCarthy, Assistant
Communication Director at the MDVA, join host Ken Haglind to speak on the
benefits of connecting Veterans with the VA. The MDVA provides community
support, health benefits, and other specialized services to the honored Vets
that live in their Veterans Home. Some Veterans wish to continue living in their
own homes as they age, so the VA aims to maintain that independence as
long as possible with their Adult Day Center that offers services and events for
community care and connections with fellow Veterans. The MDVA is also a
Veteran-friendly employer to help Veterans and non-veterans find a career
path that is fulfilling and focused on making a real difference. You can find
more information on their website at https://mn.gov/mdva/.
