Concentra Honors Veterans
Veterans Day is an annual date of honor and remembrance of the men and women of the armed forces who have proudly served our nation to keep America safe and protect our freedoms. At Concentra, we recognize and honor the sacrifices of our military personnel, both at home and abroad with what is now known as the Concentra “Wall of Honor.”

In an effort to never forget those who served our country, we’ve filled a wall at our corporate office with pictures of Concentra spouses, relatives, and children who are a part of the armed forces, submitted by employees.
Below are a few of the brave veterans that grace our wall at Concentra.
