Deb Doherty
Founder, President, CEO
Having family members who have been and are currently serving in the military, I have a passion for giving back to our military men, women and their families. The transition back into the civilian lifestyle can be a difficult process for our military men and women.
I made a decision to DDS4Vets along with incredible professionals who have joined my organization who are dedicated and passionate as I am in giving back.
We are a network of local professionals who are offering whole-hearted, confidential support, services, informative classes to help our military veterans and their families.
My mission is to provide a service dog each year to a veteran in need along with working closely with our team physicians who educate in proven alternative ways to improve their health and address issues like PTSD and other important issues.
We are pleased to be partnered and support CAMO and PGA Golf/HOPE Program
Gail Kleemann
Co-Founder, Vice President
Gail’s son, Matt, was stationed in Groton CT, working as a Navy Diver when he had an accident that left him a paraplegic. The Navy was wonderful to our family as the doctor’s first worked to save his life, then on to rehab, where he learned to live life in a wheelchair.
As time went on, other medical complications arose that was physically devastating for my son, and emotionally draining for the family. I was the primary caregiver, trying to continue to work at the same time. Although the VA was well meaning, we struggled to navigate through the system. Everything after the accident was so overwhelming. I learned later that there were resources available that would have helped. I don’t want that to happen to anyone else.
When I had the opportunity to be a part of DDS4Vets, I was thrilled! Our goal is to provide additional support and services to make sure the Veteran has a smooth and successful transition back to civilian life. As does the VA, we want to be there for our Veterans, in humble appreciation for their service to our country.
