Children’s Minnesota is pleased to share that two of our kid experts, Dr. Samreen Vora, medical director of the Children’s Minnesota Simulation Center, and Meghan Simpson, manager of simulation operations, for being honored with the U.S. Department of Defense Offices’ Employer Support of the Guard Patriot Award for supporting employees who also serve in the National Guard or Reserve.

Aaron Simpson, simulation operations specialist and member of the military and veterans employee resource group at Children’s Minnesota, and senior noncommissioned officer in the Minnesota National Guard, nominated his supervisors Dr. Samreen Vora and Meghan Simpson for the Patriot Award.

“During my seven years at Children’s Minnesota, Dr. Vora and Meghan have been extremely supportive of my military service.
