The SSVF Healthcare Navigator supports Veterans through the healthcare system either at Veteran Affairs or other coverage, and helps prevent veterans who are at imminent risk from becoming homeless.

What makes Eleanor passionate about working with veterans and marginalized citizens who have challenges is navigating and finding more resources that can give their lives the sustainability needed for fulfilling, healthy, wholesome livelihoods.
