The national consensus is that veterans of the U.S. military, approximately 21 million men and women, deserve first-rate health care. These veterans have risked so much—life and limb, health and wellness—and we, as a nation, owe them high-quality, advanced therapies. Experts in health, policy, and veterans issues will explore the public-private sector partnerships that are democratizing access to new treatments and cures for veterans and their families. What are the most efficient and effective ways to fulfill our commitment to those who deserve the very best we can offer?
