Ashley Sard is a proud Air Force Veteran with 15 years of service as a medic; however, her dedication to the military began long before she ever put on the uniform. Growing up in a military family, her father served in the Army's 82nd Airborne Division, and her younger brother followed in his footsteps—service was a part of her identity from an early age.

During her time in the Air Force, she was privileged to care for service members and their families, an experience that deepened her commitment to the well-being of those who serve. Today, that mission continues in a new form. As a Community Partnership Specialist with Empath Health, she has the honor of supporting Veterans through outreach, education, and advocacy. It’s her passion to bridge the gap between our communities and the needs of those who served, ensuring that no Veteran is forgotten or underserved.
