Hacking Veteran Health Care at VA Tampa Healthcare System

VHA Innovation Ecosystem, in collaboration with VA Tampa Healthcare System, Microsoft, and MIT Hacking Medicine is proud to announce the Veterans Health - MIT Hacking Medicine 2024 event, taking place from May 17 - 19, 2024, in Tampa, Florida.

This first-of-its-kind hackathon aims to bring together innovative minds to tackle some of the most pressing health care challenges faced by Veterans. The event will focus on developing solutions in three critical areas: connecting Veterans to the soonest and best care, preventing Veteran suicide, and hiring faster and more competitively.

The event welcomes participation from anyone passionate about positively impacting Veteran health care, including Veterans, clinicians, scientists, designers, entrepreneurs, administrators, business professionals, engineers, programmers, researchers, and artists.
