MILITARY HEALTH SYSTEMS

September 12, 2019
9:00 am - 12:00 pm Eastern
Reserve Officers Association - Washington, DC
REGISTRATION NOW OPEN

The August 2019 issue of Health Affairs examines the health systems that
serve 1.4 million active duty service members; provide care and coverage

Join us on September 12 when panels of authors will present their work
and participate in a robust discussion on:
* The Role Of The Military Health System In Ensuring Readiness And
Supporting Skills For Battlefield Support; and

* The Complex Relationship Between Military Treatment Facilities And
Purchased Civilian Care
