Veterans’ Health Matters is a new podcast series sponsored by the War Related Illness and Injury Study Center (WRIISC), a part of Post Deployment Health Services at the Veterans Health Administration. This series focuses on issues that are important to the healthcare community, Veterans, and their caregivers. This is your source on Veterans health because we know the importance of post-deployment health and that every Veterans’ health matters!
Ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, as well as historic deployments in multiple eras, have resulted in Veterans with a range of post deployment health concerns and the need for providers to understand these concerns and utilize best practices in the identification, assessment, management, and communication of Veteran care. Veterans with complex medical conditions may benefit from a patient centered approach that is rooted in whole health and functional and integrative medicine.
Hear the WRIISC’s subject matter experts provide up to date information ranging from effective communication, to information on nutrition, and much more, that can impact a Veteran’s health. For providers, you’ll get tips and information on improving care for our Nation’s Veterans. For Veterans and their families, we hope you’ll be inspired to work with your healthcare team and take charge of your own health!
