Who: USAA

When: February 23, 12:00 noon ET
Because of the coronavirus pandemic, 2020 was the year that connected care and telehealth became widely known and used parts of everyday health care. But did you know that VA has been focusing on expanding their connected care tools and technology long before that to bring care closer to home for Veterans all across the country? Through a variety of tools and technologies, VA is helping Veterans access care wherever they live, which is especially important for Veterans in rural communities.
During the event hosted by USAA, VA Connected Care will discuss how these technologies like VA Video Connect, ATLAS video chat rooms, Emergency Telehealth are bridging the gap many Veterans face, particularly those who live in rural communities. VA experts Dr. Leonie Heyworth, Director of Synchronous Telehealth, Office of Connected Care, Veterans Health Administration and Thomas Klobucar, PhD Executive Director, Office of Rural Health (ORH), will speak with Michael Kelly, Assistant VP Military Affairs – USAA, answering questions from the live audience.
