As you may have read in our meeting notes, we had the opportunity to talk with Veterans' Services Officer Leo Parent at our September 5 Health Access Network (HAN) meeting. As Leo described his role, we realized how similar the work of Veterans Services Officers (or veterans' agents) and outreach and enrollment workers can be. Both help clients navigate state, federal, and local systems, and secure health care and other benefits for people in their communities.
