Hello Veterans, Caregivers, Advocates, Families, and Survivors! Thank you for your continued support and engagement with the Center for Minority Veterans. We have many great events coming up that we are going to share.
Take a look.
Join us for a groundbreaking event that focuses on the health inequities faced by Latino veterans and provides solutions for equity, inclusion, and access. The event will take place on April 17th, 18th, and 19th, and will be conducted in both English and Spanish.
This event is specifically designed for Latino Veterans and their families, as well as professionals in the healthcare and veteran support fields. Our aim is to raise awareness about the unique challenges that Latino Veterans face in accessing quality healthcare, and to discuss solutions that promote equity and inclusivity.
Over the course of three days, attendees will engage in thought-provoking discussions, interactive workshops, and panel discussions led by renowned VA experts.. Topics will include addressing disparities in healthcare outcomes, promoting cultural competency in healthcare settings, and advocating for policy changes to improve access to healthcare for Latino Veterans.
In addition, there will also be opportunities for networking, resource sharing, and community building. Participants will have the chance to connect with like-minded individuals who share a passion for advocating for Latino Veterans' health and well-being.
Whether you are a healthcare professional, a Veteran, a family member, or an advocate, this event will provide valuable insights, practical strategies, and empowering solutions to promote equity, inclusion, and access for Latino Veterans in the healthcare system.

CMV Highlight
Honoring our LGBTQ Veterans
On Tuesday April 4th, the Center for Minority Veterans hosted the first LGBTQ+ webinar to provide information about PACT Act & VA Life led by our LGBTQ+ Program Analyst, Ashley Carothers.
Over 600 Veterans, family members, caregivers, and survivor registered for the event. Due to the overwhelming number of participants that did not have access, we hosted a second event on Monday April 10th.
