The Veterans Health Administration is America’s largest health care system, serving millions of US veterans annually across all 50 states. We’re incredibly honored to speak with Former Secretary of the US Department of Veterans Affairs, Dr. David Shulkin, who led the VA in its mission to provide care and services to Veterans of the United States Armed Forces.

Named as one of the “50 Most Influential Physician Executives in the Country” by Modern Healthcare, Dr. Shulkin is well versed in the cruciality of coupling physical care with mental healthcare, especially to patients with multiple conditions, to create a holistic patient view and ultimately reduce health disparities. We’ll also discuss healthcare cost containment, the role of virtual care, and the complexities behind the VA’s recent EHR modernization.
