#Veterans in VA with chronic pain receiving #WholeHealth Care care have better experiences and are more engaged in care. #LiveWholeHealth @bbokhour @VA_CHOIR @vahsrd @UMassChan https://t.co/ssmeLSPkrp

New pub shows there is still work to be done at the VA system level to eradicate barriers & sustain facilitators for Veterans seeking gender-affirming hormone therapy. Work by folks from @IQuEStHouston, @vaequity, @GuneetJasuja, @VA_CHOIR, & @VACT_PRIME.

The CHOIR family was well-represented at @AcademyHealth's #ARM23, with over 40 presenters and panelists, from research staff to leadership, sharing the work we do to serve #Veterans. Support was in no short supply--nor were selfies with our directors, @allenlgifford & @BBokhour!

Sunday, CHOIR colleagues attending #ARM23 or the VA EPCC retreat (or both, for many!) dined together in Seattle, WA.

So lucky to have these damaging colleagues helping implement Whole Healthcare in VA

[Anna Barker @AnnaMBarker]

Some @VA_CHOIR EPCC team leads sharing guidance for research partnerships. Key: bidirectional feedback early and often, rapid analysis, accessible recommendations. Convo continued well after the #ARM23 panel presentation.

What fun learning even more about @VA_CHOIR colleagues’ awesome work at the #ARM23 afternoon poster session! Creating models of patient-centered care, perceptions of cancer screenings, and providers’ beliefs of Whole Health in primary and mental healthcare. @jhb603 @vahsrd

[Dr. Rani Elwy (she/her) @ranielwy]

Love #ARM2023 where Sat 8 AM means a full house of workshop attendees discussing policy-practice-research partnerships in a Learning Health System, using the @VeteransHealth Whole Health System of Care transformation as a case study. Thrilled to have our partners at the table!
