Qwynn Galloway-salazar PhD, MA

Dr. Qwynn Galloway-Salazar, affectionately known as Doc Q, is the Founder and CEO of In Their Honor. As an Army Veteran, Spouse to a Combat Veteran, End-of-Life Doula, Storyteller, and Educator, she has devoted over two decades to supporting military and Veteran communities. Through her visionary leadership, she has fostered national conversations and shaped programming addressing the unique needs of Veterans and their caregivers, promoting quality of life through the end of life.

In 2023, her groundbreaking work alongside PsychArmor Institute on the “Caring for Veterans Through the End-of-Life Collection,” launched. The collection addresses the challenges faced by Veterans and offers invaluable guidance and support for Compassionate Communities, Caregivers/Loved Ones, and Healthcare Providers.

Beyond her role at In Their Honor, Qwynn remains deeply engaged in supporting various organizations dedicated to military and Veteran communities. She lends her expertise to the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization’s End-of-Life Doula Council and sits on the Veterans Studies Association advisory board. She is also a founding member of the Compassionate Communities Think Tank (U.S.). In her spare time, she mentors Master’s and Doctoral students, nurturing the next generation of leaders in her field.

Qwynn’s tireless efforts have garnered well-deserved recognition, with USA Today honoring her as one of their 2024 Women of the Year. This prestigious accolade, coupled with her previous distinction as the inaugural Woman Veteran of the Year (2022-2023) by the Georgia Department of Veterans Services, is a testament to her impact on her community and the nation at large.
