ViaQuest Founder/CEO Rich Johnson has been inducted into the Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame

It is our privilege to share with you that ViaQuest Founder / CEO Rich Johnson has been inducted into the Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame Class of 2024. Along with 19 of his fellow servicemembers, Rich has been awarded this honor for his post-military accomplishments and service to the community through the care ViaQuest provides.

As you know, Rich’s passion for service and his dogged determination to never give up is at the very core of who he is. He founded ViaQuest in 1999 to satisfy an unmet need in healthcare: Providing care to individuals with developmental disabilities and people needing behavioral health support throughout Ohio, including veterans. ViaQuest expanded into providing hospice care across a three-state service area, including veteran-specific programming and accreditation by the Department for Veterans Affairs and the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization. These services have allowed tens of thousands of people to live fuller and more productive lives in our community and have provided jobs to thousands throughout the Midwest.

ViaQuest’s mission and CHOICE values are directly inspired by the philosophies that defined Rich’s time in the United States Air Force. The Airman’s Creed begins by stating, “We share an unbreakable trust and the will to never give up.” The Air Force sense of trust and willpower are reflected every day at ViaQuest in our dedication to Customer Service, Humor, Ownership, Integrity, Creativity and Excellence. We have worked hard over the last 25 years to give back to the veteran community – serving, honoring and employing many veterans over that time. 

As one of our trusted partners, we at ViaQuest wanted to share the news of Rich’s induction into the Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame. We are proud of Rich’s accomplishments, and we are proud of our company’s roots and status as a veteran-owned organization.
