CHRIS CAULEY, VA DETROIT, AND RICHARD “CHUBZ” WERABELSKI

Join host Jim Fausone for this week’s program! Chris Cauley, recently appointed Executive Director of the John Dingell Detroit VA Medical Center, talks about his background, commitment to veterans health care, the challenges at Detroit VAMC and what his team is doing to improve customer service and access to outstanding health care for veterans. He talks to host Jim about the current top three issues he is addressing.

Army Veteran Richard (ChubZ) Werabelski was medically discharged after an RPG explosion in Afghanistan resulted in a TBI & PTSD. The transition back to civilian life was hard. He had to deal with the VA, being unable to work in his prior career, a house fire and insurance battle, bankruptcy, COVID, and other hurdles. ChubZ talks to host Jim Fausone about how giving back during COVID by cooking meals for first responders led to being an entrepreneur and having a BBQ food business at fairs, festivals and catering.
