Description

As the federal healthcare system evolves to meet the needs of our nation’s military and Veteran community, understanding their lived experiences is essential to driving meaningful change. In this session, Optum Serve will present findings from their foundational ethnographic research initiative conducted to engage Veterans, active-duty service members, their families and clinicians.
