Murfreesboro, TN - Four Veterans from the VA Tennessee Valley Healthcare System will participate in the 39th National Disabled Veterans Winter Sports Clinic (NDVWSC) in Aspen-Snowmass, Colorado, from March 31 to April 5.
Representing the Alvin C. York VA Medical Center in Murfreesboro are
- Angela Gooch, 55, from Prospect, TN (Army)
- Jeremy Miller, 55, from Vanleer, TN (Army)
- Britany Elliott, 34, from Red Boiling Springs, TN (Marine Corps)

These participating Veterans exemplify the transformative power of adaptive sports and their impact on the lives of those who have served our nation.
The five-day event, known as “Miracles on a Mountainside”, brings together approximately 400 disabled Veterans from across the country to engage in adaptive sports therapy. Activities range from downhill skiing and sled hockey to scuba diving, rock climbing, snowmobiling, and more. The event is supported by 600 volunteers and 200 sponsors.
For nearly 40 years, the NDVWSC has provided disabled Veterans with opportunities to overcome challenges and redefine their limitations through participation in adaptive sports.
The VA Tennessee Valley Healthcare System (TVHS), which encompasses the Alvin C. York Campus in Murfreesboro and the Nashville Campus, along with more than a dozen outpatient clinics across Tennessee and Kentucky, continues to offer specialized healthcare services, including spinal cord injury care, mental health services, and transplant services.
