I have attached a flyer. Here is the registration link: train.org/vha/course/1119208/live-event
Do you ask "Have you served in the military?" (Home (haveyoueverserved.com)) Think about all of the health implications of military service...
Now more than ever, with the recent passing of the PACT Act (The PACT Act And Your VA Benefits | Veterans Affairs) Veterans and communities are talking about military environmental exposures. As nurses, we are often the most frequent touch-point!
"This live virtual training will define exposure-informed care, explain its benefits to our non-Veterans Administration (VA) healthcare partners, and provide concrete strategies to incorporate exposure-informed care into a comprehensive approach to healthcare. Providers will learn how the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) envisions the future of exposure-informed healthcare and explore strategies to reach those goals and provide enhanced whole health care to Veterans. Non-VA providers may have limited knowledge of the implications of the Sergeant First Class (SFC) Heath Robinson Honoring our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics (PACT) Act for their Veteran patients, internal efforts to screen all enrolled Veterans for toxic exposures, and the broader campaign to promote exposure-informed care. This training will equip non-VA providers with the information they need to properly support Veterans with toxic exposure and help to bridge the gap between VHA and non-VA providers. "
Very respectfully,
