Our Founders’ Story
Our story starts with two individuals whose paths crossed in profound and impactful ways. Co-founder Dan Whisnant had just completed two combat tours of duty in Iraq, during which he experienced firsthand the challenges and hardships faced by his fellow servicemen. In his second tour, Dan tragically lost five comrades in combat, including Tommy Gilbert, a brother-in-arms and a dear friend.
Dan and Tommy's father, Mike, met during a family day event before deployment. Dan was Tommy’s commanding officer, they grew up in the same area outside Chicago and shared a love for the same sport teams. This connection forged a bond between them that would inspire the creation of SDV Medical after Tommy's death.
Between 2007 and 2015, Dan, Mike, and Dan's son, Tyler, came together with a vision. They witnessed the pain and struggles veterans faced in obtaining proper care and were determined to create a solution that would eliminate the bureaucratic red tape and ensure timely and high-quality care for all veterans.
Vision
In memory of Tommy Gilbert and all those who have served, SDV Medical was established to provide the best possible care to veterans who have given so much for our country. Our dedication to this cause drives everything we do, from our healthcare solutions to our operational systems, ensuring that veterans receive the respect, care, and support they truly deserve.
