Join the Million Veterans Program. Medicine genetically programed just for you is now a possibility and almost within reach for all of us. Listen in to hear how your fellow vets are helping to make this a reality.
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.
