In recognition of healthcare workers who have gone above and beyond in their efforts to fight the coronavirus pandemic, the Minneapolis St. Paul Business Journal has announced the 2022 Health Care Heroes.

MDVA is proud to share that three of the honorees are senior leaders at the Minnesota Veterans Homes:

• Simone Hogan, Senior Director
• Paula Newinski, Quality Director
• Caroline Schauer, Clinical Director

The Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal “launched the Health Care Heroes awards in 2021 to recognize Twin Cities individuals for putting innovation, care, dedication and compassion to work to improve the human condition,” their announcement stated. “Given the quality of nominations for our second annual Health Care Heroes awards, the selection process was difficult for our judges.” To view the full announcement, visit here.

“The Minnesota Veterans Homes benefit greatly from the knowledge, expertise and leadership of Simone, Paula and Caroline,” said Douglas Hughes, Deputy Director - Veterans Healthcare. “They absolutely deserve this award.”

Congratulations to Simone, Paula and Caroline and thank you for all you do on behalf of Minnesota Veterans.
