SoHC's Take
The launch of the Veteran Ready Healthcare Certificate program by Conviva Care Center and CenterWell Senior Primary Care represents a significant advancement in veteran healthcare. By partnering with PsychArmor, these centers are ensuring their staff is well-equipped to understand and address the unique health needs of aging veterans. This initiative not only reflects Humana’s longstanding commitment to veterans but also highlights the importance of specialized training in improving healthcare outcomes.

This program sets a commendable standard for other healthcare organizations aiming to bridge gaps in veteran healthcare.
