An AHASTAT blog post today highlights resources available to help hospitals care for and hire veterans. These include a Department of Veterans Affairs' consultation program and toolkit to help hospitals and health professionals treat veterans with post traumatic stress disorder. In addition, AHA last year collaborated with the White House Joining Forces initiative on a resource to help hospitals hire veterans. “On this day of thanks to and celebration of our veterans, hospitals are proud to count veterans among the women and men who care for patients and communities,” AHASTAT notes.
