Hired Hero: Lolita Manghram

Lolita Manghram, is the Meetings Registration Senior Manager 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, Manghram experienced severe nerve damage in her hands during deployment. She was discharged from the Air Force in 2004, as she was deemed disabled by the Veterans Administration.

Manghram 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.

Manghram 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.
