Welcome to Blood Draw Alley

    The VA Medical Center in Brockton is one of the hubs for the veterans of Mass.  On May 28th, I got to tour the Brockton campus.  This was unlike a normal doctor's visit because it is always a special place that can take care of veterans that do so much.  My father goes to the VA in Brockton, so to see and meet the people that take care of him so well was my opportunity to give back to the people that gave to my family. One of the stops of the tour was known as, Blood Draw Alley.  This is the portion of the hospital where they check blood sugar, INR levels, etc.  I may have a few tattoos, but no needles for me, thank you. Until next time, Advocate, Educate, and Empower.
