“Moravian College is honored to host this extremely important training with Diana Dolan,” said Kathy Gray, director, nurse practitioner programs at Moravian College. “There are many factors that impact the health of our veterans, and learning how to recognize the signs will go a long way to ensure they’re getting the treatment they need.”
This event is part of the Moravian College InFocus program, which in the 2017-2018 academic year includes a focus on how a culture’s particular system of production impacts the scope and nature of its health care resources.
This training on March 28 is intended for civilian primary care medical providers and their staff treating service members, veterans, and family members.
