Other industries; and
Other VA use cases in which tracking care and ensuring Veteran engagement is critical
Dr. David LaBorde, senior advisor to DSS, Inc., will present and lead this discussion on Thursday, May 5 at 10:30AM to 10:55AM. LaBorde is a neurosurgeon in Atlanta and has been in practice for almost 20 years.
