Dr. Matthew Messa, a Navy Veteran and former corpsman, now serves as an emergency physician at the Wilkes-Barre VA Medical Center. His path from the Persian Gulf to medical school was shaped by grit, a love for service, and a personal journey through trauma and healing. After nearly leaving medicine, VA care helped him rediscover his purpose—both as a doctor and a Veteran. Today, he proudly provides care to those who, like him, once wore the uniform.
