He joined the VA in 1993 as a Prosthetic Representative trainee at the West Roxbury, Mass. VA Medical Center. By 1999, he was prosthetic manager for a network of 10 VA medical centers, overseeing a $92 million budget and the prosthetic operations in several surrounding states. Mr. Nowak also spent over a year as Acting Associate Director at the Wilmington VA Medical Center and was responsible for the facilities day-to- day operations.
In 2011, he was selected to lead the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Office of National Veterans Sports Programs and Special Events. He oversees the department’s national adaptive sport and art therapy programs, commemorative events, and partnership with the United States Paralympics. Mr. Nowak continues to serve his fellow Veterans as a consultant with the Professional Golfers Association(PGA) of America and currently consults on the PGA’s flagship military program Helping Our Patriots Everywhere (HOPE).
Now, Mr. Nowak has decided to focus his attention on creating a company that will continue to help his fellow Veterans. MedEast Solutions Ltd. provides quality service and products to government agencies that support Veterans and active duty Military.

John Blaskovich
Vice President of Sales
John Blaskovich graduated from Colorado State University with a degree in Biology in 1986. During this time he was awarded a scholarship, after joining the football team as a walk-on and earned 3 varsity letters. John went on to coach college football and in 1990, completed his Master’s Degree in Sports Administration Management from Temple University. With his athletic experience and interests, he continued to coach at multiple Division I football programs over the next several years.
John’s varied background of coaching, athletics, management, recruiting, and hard work was the foundation for MedEast; a service and distribution company in the bracing/orthotic industry. Starting as a representative to a local distributor, John entered the bracing sales industry with almost 0 business in his territory. Over 20 years, John developed and expanded MedEast’s orthopedic domain to provide pediatric cranial helmets, custom braces, and artificial joint replacements. Now, MedEast Post-Op and Surgical has grown into a regional competitor with 44 employees and representation in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware.
His hard work brought enormous growth for MedEast so he turned his focus to the VA. It was through working with Mr. Nowak at the Philadelphia VA that their partnership was able to introduce an orthotics clinic that proved very beneficial to the Veterans, offering on-time service combined with exemplary product and saving the VA money. That clinic expanded quickly and became MedEast Solutions Ltd. Through his years of service and representation of multiple orthopedic manufacturers, Mr. Blaskovich now brings his passion for service and quality to those who have served our country.
