Ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, as well as historic deployments in multiple eras, have resulted in Veterans with a range of post deployment health concerns and the need for providers to understand these concerns and utilize best practices in the identification, assessment, management, and communication of Veteran care. Veterans with complex medical conditions may benefit from a patient centered approach that is rooted in whole health and functional and integrative medicine. Veterans’ Health Matters, a new podcast series sponsored by the War Related Illness and Injury Study Center (WRIISC), offers clinicians, Veterans, and caregivers information on post deployment care, and also offers tools on effective patient-provider communication, various functional and integrative medicine approaches, along with exercise, that can improve the care of our nation’s Veterans. During every episode you’ll hear subject matter experts weigh in on these topics and also talk about services the WRIISC provides because every Veteran’s health really does matter.
