Veterans
When our service men and women put themselves in harm’s way to defend us – to defend our lives, our freedoms – we must commit to giving them the care and treatment they deserve when they return home.
Dr. Cassidy will honor this commitment by ensuring that the healthcare, benefits, and services promised to our veterans are fully funded and provide the quality of care they deserve.
Veterans who need assistance with their benefits or Veterans Administration services can click here to get help from Dr. Cassidy.
