This event is only for credentialed members of the press. This briefing is on background.
On June 6, 2018, President Trump signed the VA Mission Act. This is the latest and perhaps the most comprehensive legislative reform on veterans health care since 2014, when the VA came under intense scrutiny for failing to provide timely and accessible care to veterans. During this on background briefing, a bipartisan group of staffers from the House and Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committees will discuss the latest efforts to modernize and improve health care for veterans, including expanded access to community care and enhanced interoperability of electronic health records.
The panel will consist of a bipartisan group of staffers from the House and Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committees.
Mary Ella Payne, R.N., MSPH, acting president and chief executive officer at the Alliance for Health Policy, will moderate the discussion.
