About the event

Quality of Life Foundation (QoLF) has become a leader in helping caregivers make sure that the veteran's medical needs are communicated and documented correctly within the veteran's VA medical record.  Making sure the evidence of the veteran's need for assistance is correctly documented is what allows PCAFC to approve applications.    Listen in to make sure that you are preparing correctly for new applications or re-assessments.  While the rule may change, the information on how to make sure the medical record documents the veteran's need for assistance will not change.  

Speaker

No Greater Sacrifice

Andrea Sawyer 
Andrea has first-hand experience as a caregiver to a veteran with PTSD and TBI. Andrea and her husband experienced difficulty finding treatment and services for his injuries when he returned home from Iraq. They decided that while their family was recovering from the injuries inflicted by war, they would strive to make changes in the health and support systems to improve services and care for those families and warriors that came through the system after them.

After her husband’s injuries, Andrea left her 13 year teaching career to become a full-time caregiver to her husband and an advocate for other wounded warrior families. Using her history degree from Meredith College and her teaching experience, Andrea has focused her efforts on educating the public and lawmakers on the struggles faced by caregivers, wounded warriors, and their families.

Andrea has worked on caregiver legislation and as a national spokesperson for caregiver issues. She has testified before the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee about mental health gaps experienced by veterans within the VA. She had testimony accepted for the record by the House Veterans Affairs Committee surrounding improvements needed in mental health care.

Andrea’s favorite part of working at the Quality of Life Foundation is being able to use her plethora of resources from her own struggles to help others. She enjoys being able to give help to others as a way of honoring those who helped her family when they most needed it.

“Andrea's testimony... brought me to tears to hear those words said out loud, THANK YOU. What it means to me is beyond words that I can express.”

Caregiver of a Wounded Veteran

To have QoLF take the lead and connect us to the PCAFC Administrator DIRECTLY so we could share our concerns, experiences, solutions and to feel “heard.”  Many positive results came out of those meetings which would have not happened without the advocacy and leadership of QoLF.
