Dedicated to Service
MillECare® is named after our founder’s great-grandmother, Mildred E. Bush, a World War II Gold Star Mother, to honor her incredible strength, sacrifice, and compassion. As someone who endured the profound loss of a child in service to the nation, she embodied resilience in the face of hardship, qualities that resonate deeply with the mission of providing care to others. Her legacy symbolizes the ultimate sacrifice, and by naming the organization after her, we aim to reflect that same spirit of dedication and service in our healthcare approach. Naming the organization after her keeps her memory alive while setting the foundation for a collaborative community healthcare model rooted in empathy and care. MillECare® stands as a tribute to her memory and a commitment to caring for those who serve and their families, just as she cared for her own.
Our Founder, Heidi Walker
MillECare® was born from my desire to combine my medical expertise and military experience to create a healthcare model that serves those who serve our country, offering them and their families the support, care, and understanding they deserve. During my service, I witnessed how frequent deployments, relocations, and the demands of military life can strain the well-being of services members and their loved ones. As a nurse, I have a deep passion for providing care, and I saw a gap in accessible, compassionate healthcare specifically designed for the military community. MillECare® is my way of giving back to the military community by offering tailored healthcare services that honor their resilience and ensure they receive the quality care they deserve.
