The Partnership for Public Service recently announced the finalists for the 2016 Samuel J. Heyman Service to America Medals.
Thomas O’Toole started the Veterans Patient Aligned Care Team program in 2006 in Rhode Island. The program aimed to help provide support services alongside medical care to homeless and at-risk veterans. It is now a national program operating at 62 veterans facilities across the country.
“Tom’s leadership, innovation and creativity—his willingness to think outside of the box—have been a huge factor in ensuring we can reach a tough, sick population and do right by them,” said Lisa Pape, executive director of the Veterans Health Administration Homeless Program.
