Mission: Healthier U.S. Veterans

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) have joined forces in an unprecedented manner in an effort to improve the health of the nation.
The focus of this joint initiative, HealthierUS Veterans, is to educate veterans, their families, and communities about the health risks of obesity and diabetes.
By focusing on these conditions and the population of veterans and their families, these two federal agencies can reach up to a quarter of the entire U.S. population, about 70 million people.

I believe the idea of the above iniative is to lower the debilitating effects of major health conditions affecting veterans today by preventing them. For more information on this great idea, please visit: http://www.healthierusveterans.va.gov/Default.asp
