What you should know…
Veterans have given so much to our country. When they need care, especially during difficult times, they deserve the best we can offer.
For some people, the mission continues even after they leave the military.
For Danielle Ray, a U.S. Air Force Veteran and Director of Veteran Initiatives at AccentCare, her desire to serve just took a new direction. Now, she helps lead AccentCare’s efforts to care for those who have served our country.
“I’ve always been in Veteran service since I’ve gotten out of the military, and I wanted to remain that way.”
Veterans have given so much to our country. When they need care, especially during difficult times, they deserve the best we can offer. For Danielle, being trusted with this responsibility is what makes her work meaningful.
She still follows an Air Force motto: service before self. Danielle begins every interaction by asking, “How can we give them the best service? How can we make their life better? How can we help sustain the independence that they greatly desire and deserve?”
Joining AccentCare
The integrity and accountability Danielle learned in the military fit well with AccentCare’s mission. These values help build the trust that patients and families have in their care teams every day.
Danielle first joined AccentCare in 2023 in another position. When leaders saw her experience serving Veterans, they helped her find a career path that fit her skills. She has seen AccentCare do this for other Veterans as well. “I definitely feel like the leaders here see what you can bring to the table, and they try to accommodate and place you in a position for you to grow and for you to benefit from working here,” she says.
Leadership, resilience, adaptability, and teamwork are all skills learned in the military, and AccentCare values and supports them.
When Danielle speaks with Veterans considering joining AccentCare, she keeps her advice simple: “Apply, get involved, and be ready to serve.”
Danielle finished her military service years ago, but her mission continues.
At AccentCare, she and her colleagues have the honor of caring for those who once served, offering them the compassion, respect, and personalized care they deserve.
