Our Origin Story

Some of the Best Ideas Start at the Kitchen Table, and Such is the Case with Trajector Medical

Our co-founder Gina Uribe, an experienced nurse practitioner, worked as a compensation & pension examiner at the VA. Every morning before work, she went walking with homeless Veterans. The Veterans assumed Gina was a homeless Veteran staying in the women’s ward.

On their walks, Gina got to know these Veterans and came to understand some of their challenges. Gina knew disability compensation would give them a chance to get back up on their feet, but she also realized they did not have the proper resources to pursue their VA disability benefits.

The Veterans began to bring their service medical records for Gina to review, and she helped them understand which conditions might qualify them for benefits. Gina discovered that these accomplished Veterans had a difficult time navigating the journey. Without detailed medical evidence to support their claims, many were getting denied.

Before long, word of mouth spread from the homeless Vets Gina had helped. In just a few short months, Veterans from all over the country began calling for her medical consulting services.

Inspired by her passion and talent for helping Veterans, Gina quit the VA and started a new company. She recruited her husband Ken, son Matthew, and daughter Stevie into the family business, which operated in Gina’s kitchen!

Needing a test subject, Gina reviewed the case of her grandfather, Colonel Bob. He was at 40%, receiving nothing other than a retiree tax break. Gina and Colonel Bob were excited when she developed thorough medical evidence that helped him achieve the 100% he had qualified for.

As fate would have it, Gina met Jim Hill, a Navy Veteran who served during Operation Just Cause, Desert Shield, and Desert Storm. Jim became a client in 2013, two years after Gina started her business. Jim shared her passion for helping Veterans. After realizing that each possessed different business strengths, they decided to join forces. Gina’s experience in medical evidence development and VA processes fit well with Jim’s knowledge of business, marketing, and IT. They partnered and expanded the business to help more Veterans, and continue to be an excellent team.

Gina and Jim’s Mission

The concept in starting Trajector Medical was to build not just a business but a community with a purpose beyond profit. Though the kitchen office was outgrown, the founding principles never changed. The first few Veterans Gina had helped before Trajector Medical started were able to get to a better place in their lives. That positivity and optimism carried over to Trajector Medical and has always been at the core of our mission.

The strategies that Gina developed have been refined and honed over the years. Trajector Medical is a medical evidence development company that helps Veterans establish service-connection by connecting symptoms and diagnoses to their military service. These critical nexus opinions help Veterans get their ratings increased with the VA and secure the disability benefits they medically, legally, and ethically qualify for.
