A recent study performed by The Gallup Organization has shown that active members of the military are happier and healthier overall than other members of the American workforce. However, military veterans were shown to suffer much worse than a civilian retiree.
The study focused on veterans of all ages and revealed that in terms of emotional and physical health, work environment and access to basic necessities, war veterans were drowning.
More than eight years after Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf coast, Veterans Affairs has begun construction of an $800 million complex in New Orleans.
VA secretary Eric Shinseki addressed state officials, VA executives and veterans from every war since World War II Friday, promising that the new complex will prove to be worth the wait. Shinseki then broke ground with a ceremonial shovel.
iCAD and the Defense Supply Center announced last week that they will supply more than 400 federal healthcare facilities with CAD mammography systems. VA centers and Department of Defense hospitals will be among the facilities receiving the updated technology.
The need for new technology comes with the increase in the number of women serving in the armed forces. In 2009 the Veteran’s Administration reported that there were 1.8 million female veterans. The CAD technology that will be added to the medical facilities is part of the Women’s Comprehensive Healthcare Implementation Plan. The plan is designed to provide complete primary health care for all female veterans.
