About the Conference
As the nation’s largest integrated healthcare system, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs is tasked with the vital duty of ensuring that our military veterans receive the highest-quality care available to them. With this duty comes a great number of challenges, not only due to the pandemic, but with aging healthcare centers, supply chain issues and technology. Join ACI as we bring together Military, Government, private health care providers, academia and consultants to give an overview of how we can improve healthcare access and delivery to our nation’s veterans
Although the subject matter of this ACI conference relates to Military and Veterans Healthcare, this is a non-VA event. The Department of Veterans Affairs nor any of its components (VHA, VBA) have sponsored or endorsed this event or ACI.
