Lolita Sampson, an event coordinator at MedAssets’ corporate office in metro Atlanta is a veteran of both Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom.

As a fitness specialist and a food service specialist in the United States Air Force, Sampson experienced severe nerve damage in her hands during deployment. She was discharged from the Air Force in 2004 after she was deemed disabled by the Veterans Administration.

Sampson learned about the Hire Heroes USA program while enrolled in the work-study program through the Veterans Administration and was inspired by the experiences of Justin Callahan, a disabled Operation Enduring Freedom veteran who inspired the development of Hire Heroes USA.

Sampson is now adjusting to civilian life and her career at MedAssets. She is thankful for the help she received through the Hire Heroes USA program, which has given her hope that anything is possible.
