After retiring from the U.S. Army in 2007, Steven R. Gallegos established Vesa Health & Technology to work with government agencies and improve the quality of medical services for veterans. In addition to his long-time involvement in veterans’ healthcare, Steven Gallegos also supports the Wounded Warriors Project.
The Wounded Warriors Project is the largest nonprofit in the nation committed to supporting the recovery of post-9/11 veterans by providing access to better healthcare and community resources. One of the ways it makes its presence felt in the San Antonio community is through the TRACK facility, one of only two such programs in the nation. Although the GI Bill and Veteran’s Administration services cover much of the upfront costs of college, the TRACK program was designed to enable wounded warriors to live fully independent lives while getting a head-start on pursuing a degree or vocational certificate. The 12-month program covers costs for moving and housing expenses, class fees and books, and also includes a stipend for monthly expenses. Upon completion of the program, graduates receive an additional $6,000 TRACK Merit award. Each year, the TRACK program supports more than 120 warriors in their transitions to civilian life and paths to independence.
