To all:
I am writing to ask for your help as it might relate to Dementia, Alzheimer’s or the VA Hospital.
My father, Eudell Evans, was admitted on June 16, 2008, to the VA Medical Hospital in Jackson, Mississippi. The doctors and staff of the hospital have determined he is in the advanced stages of Alzheimer’s and will need special care for the rest of his life. They have now asked that we find another hospital or care facility and they want to remove
him from their care.
He served during World War 2, with the First Army, 83th division and was awarded the bronze star, among other metals. He was a Captain on the Jackson, Mississippi, police department for 22 years. He also served 10 years on the security detail at the Veterans Hospital, and served as a Federal Marshall. He has spent his entire life in the service of others.
I ask for your help in contacting anyone who you might know in the VA administration, or otherwise, that might be able to help keep him in the Hospital which was built to
server those who have severed our country.
They have asked that we move him the next 30 days. We do not think this is the way a Veteran should be treated.
