A warm welcome to our newest employee, Ratana Whitehead! Ralana is a Veteran Directed Care Coordinator in our newest area – Puget Sound. As the daughter and former spouse of veterans, and a longtime member of the military community, she understands the obstacles veterans and their families face. Having lived with PTSD and anxiety herself, she brings genuine empathy and understanding to her work. Advocacy and resource coordination are her strong skills, and she is excited to be helping veterans stay in their own homes and get the care they need.
