VA Healthcare 2019 is designed to bring together senior level leaders in the VA, VHA, VBA, Military, Academia and Industry Executives to discuss policies, innovating practices, program and facility modernizations and advancements in AI and emerging technologies. As we discuss challenges, priorities and opportunities shaping the future of healthcare delivery we focus on patient care, timely response and resolving tomorrow’s challenges today!
