Exploring Health Innovations Inspired by the Care of Military Personnel

March 24, 2015

Many military advancements in healthcare, inspired by the care of active duty personnel and veterans, have contributed to new developments in healthcare in local, regional and global communities. Some of these advancements include prosthetic and sensory aids for missing limbs, and trauma procedures designed to maximize emergency care are now considered standard medical practice. The next Alverno Forum will explore these innovations and the impact they have had on healthcare for the general public.

Presenters from the Clement J. Zablocki Veterans Affairs Medical Center include:

Linda Bay, Clinical Nurse Specialist (panel moderator) Susan Giulianetti, Nurse Practitioner, Polytrauma Team Darcie Greuel, OEF/OIF/OND Program Manager Beth Hammer, Program Manager for Nursing Excellence Jennifer Kiefer, Polytrauma Social Worker/Fisher House Manager
