The Director of the James A Haley Veterans Hospital has been a frequent guest on Veterans Corner Radio since its inception over four years ago. Joe's transparent management style has allowed for almost all of the top managers at that facility to come on Veterans Corner Radio and share information with our listeners. But beyond that transparency, Joe has established a culture of competency at the hospital that most of us have never seen before. Tune in to hear him share the wisdom he has gleaned for 38 years with the VHA and how the implementation of that knowledge has created a workforce dedicated to serving veterans.

Jennifer (Jenny) Moser, Associate Director  Scientific Programs, and Jennifer (Jenn) Deen, Associate Director Public Relations for the Million Veterans Program share information on this program that will change the way medicine is practiced.  The Million Veteran program at the VA is one of the largest genetics research programs in the world with nearly 840,000 veterans participating. The goal is for Veterans to someday walk into a doctor’s office and receive health care designed just for them. Through genetic research, discoveries about the biological basis of disease and illness can help researchers better understand how they work and potentially lead to new ways of identifying risk, treating diseases, and ultimately, prevention. Bill has been a participant in the program for about the last five years and the printed materials that he has received from the Million Veteran Program have been very interesting, to say the least.

Rebecca Keough is responsible for the White House VA Hotline. This is the office that you contact when you have exhausted all other avenues of help. Many times they can cut the Gordian knot of bureaucracy and get you to the right person or office that can solve your problem. While it is always good practice to try and resolve your problem at the lowest level possible, when a wall is hit, this is the place to call. They will take your information, create a case file and stay with you until there is some form of resolution of your problem. This program is full of useful information. Give them a call at the number they share during the interview.

Dr. Hayes is making her second visit to Veterans Corner Radio. The comments in response to her first visit prompted us to ask her back. This time she discusses the problems that women face in transitioning from military service to civilian life. They also talk about some of our male veterans who are causing these ladies to feel disrespected while waiting for their VA appointments. Everyone should understand that these female veterans are strong enough to stand up for themselves, but getting support from their brothers in arms would be appreciated.

Sixty thousand claims are under mandatory review due to a court order and the passing of the Blue Water Navy bill by congress. Rashmi talks with Bill Hodges about the way that review will be handled and how those who have not filed, or even the spouse/family, can file claims for Agent Orange exposure on naval ships. For some, it can mean hundreds of thousands of dollars in back pay on claims previously denied that might now be approved.  Bill tells you often on this show not to count yourself out. If you think you might have benefits coming to you, file for them. Even if your claim is denied, as was the case with these 60,000 claims, circumstances change, and claims can be reactivated.  Listen in to learn more.

 Dr. Jacqueline Scott, a board-certified ophthalmologist, discusses the condition we know as cataracts and walks us through how they develop and what treatments are available. As a matter of full disclosure, for the past five years, the doctors have been advising me to have the surgery. This past spring I finally agreed and now for the first time in forty years, I am not wearing glasses. My results may not be typical, but honestly had I known what is in this broadcast earlier, I would not have waited.
