On January 16th, students visited the VA hospital to meet with Acting Director, Rima Nelson. Ms. Nelson is a graduate of the University of Utah MPH/HSA Program.
The VA System
Veteran Affairs is able to spend less per patient than private hospitals by focusing on prevention. Comprehensive testing during a single visit allows the VA to monitor overall patient health. This enables the VA to detect and treat early signs of illness.
Students interested in getting involved in VA initiatives or in doing a volunteer internship should contact James Walston at james.walston2@va.gov.
