Ronald J. (Ron) Hafey Sr. President, DVCH's Board of Director's

RONALD (RON) HAFEY SR., US NAVY RETIRED proudly served in the U.S. Navy. (Retired) I was a Navy corpsman with the Marines (“Doc” or also known as “Death Cheater.”) During the course of my career I served on many ships, in hospitals and assigned to MMART teams. I am a 100% Disabled Veteran and my vast knowledge in medicine gives me a better understanding to the needs and stresses that Veterans face upon returning to the civilian community and stresses veterans experience during the claims process in the V.A. system. Our efforts are to make this transition with the least amount of stress to the Veteran and their family.

 I am a Veteran like you, and I want to say “Thank You” for your service! My goal is to help you, the Veteran, to ensuring that disabled veterans are able to purchase the accessible and affordable housing that gives them the high quality of life they need and deserve and to help you obtain answers.
