Honoring Our Veterans

This Veterans Day, we honor all those who have served in our nation’s armed forces and are grateful for their service and dedication to our country. But we do more than honor them. The Obama administration and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) are committed to the men and women who have served our nation and are helping to ensure that they lead fulfilling lives at home.

This includes improving job opportunities for veterans and providing military families with the resources they need to thrive. By expanding opportunities for veterans to train as physician assistants, HHS is partnering with the Departments of Defense, Labor, and Veterans Affairs to fast-track veteran medics into crucial jobs in community health centers and other parts of the health care system. Our veterans have shown their military medical training on the battlefield and they should be able to use their hard-earned experience to get good health care jobs. READ MORE  Honoring Our Veterans
