Veteran-led, MBA-credentialed management consulting for the Veterans Health
Administration — with native bilingual (English/Spanish) capability
designed for VISN 8 and the Hispanic-veteran patient population.
VA / VHA Capability Focus
- Administrative & operational consulting — process improvement, workflow analysis, records preparation, and workforce planning for VHA facilities.
- Bilingual patient-facing programs — outreach, communications, and constituent-services design tuned to Hispanic-veteran populations under PACT Act and MISSION Act priorities.
- Small-business subcontracting support — teaming-ready SDVOSB participation that satisfies four small-business goal categories under FAR 52.219-9.
- Language services — translation and interpretation of clinical, administrative, and educational materials to and from Spanish.
Why Vashon for the VA Mission
- Veteran-led leadership. Founded by a U.S. Coast Guard veteran — the same population you serve, from the same experience of service and transition.
- MBA + BS Health Science. Our founder's credentials specifically pair operational-management fluency with the clinical and administrative vocabulary of the healthcare enterprise.
- Native bilingual capability. Not add-on translation — English and Spanish delivery is built in from the first requirement, at no premium.
- Hispanic-owned + SDVOSB. One relationship counts toward multiple VA small-business goal categories, simplifying subcontracting-plan reporting for primes.
