On Tuesday, September 23, The Sergeant Thomas Joseph Sullivan Center will honor former senior VA epidemiologist Dr. Steven S. Coughlin with its annual Award for Excellence in Post Deployment Health Science at the Pew Charitable Trusts Conference Center located at 901 E Street, NW Washington, DC.
Dr. Coughlin resigned his position at the VA over ethical concerns and since then through testimony and media interviews has furthered a dialogue among those dedicated to helping the VA/DoD become more effective, efficient, compassionate, and transparent in the delivery of healthcare to those who have served us in war and are recovering from toxic wounds.
There is no charge for this event but space is limited. Please register bySeptember 17, 2014.
We encourage veterans, veteran advocates, lawmakers, active duty personnel, physicians, researchers and our friends at the VA/DoD to join us in the spirit of the President's call to honor those who have bravely told the truth in order to bring about reform on behalf of those who have served the nation and were injured by war related environmental exposures.
