Description

There are numerous stories about the Military Health System written, published and posted on MHS related websites: health.mil, dha.mil, usuhs.edu and the military medical service websites. But are we really reaching the right audiences? This public affairs panel will offer alternatives for both internal and external engagement to include social media, military media influencers, the Defense Media Activity and other sources to reach as many key audiences that need to learn and understand the value of the Military Health System. This information will also apply to other federal health care agencies in the federal government as well as international medical officers and students in attendance.
