After receiving an associate degree in communications from St. Louis Community College and a bachelor’s degree in communications from Washington University in St. Louis, Ms. Jenkins worked at a private hospital for 14 years and then moved on to the Atlanta Veteran’s Affairs (VA) Medical Center. While working with the VA, she noticed many flaws within veteran health care services. In 2019, she was inspired to commence an organization to address these issues and approached 36 potential investors. Among these investors were Mr. Lacy Clay and the late congressman John Lewis, who both willingly offered their help to establish her company. Accepting their help, Ms. Jenkins was deeply involved in the development of the business, from architecture and construction to the overall design and mission. Thereafter, she became president and owner of Veterans Advantage Urgent Care in 2019.
