On Monday, April 6 CHE Partners participated in an in-depth exploration of the federal report on Gulf War Veterans Illness, the controversy, the long struggle for recognition, and the report's implications for research and veterans' health care going forward.

Featured speakers includd:

  • Jim Binns, Chairman, Research Advisory Committee on Gulf War Veterans' Illness
  • Paul Sullivan, Director, Veterans for Common Sense
  • Dr. Kim Sullivan, Scientific Coordinator, Research Advisory Committee at Boston University School of Public Health

The call will be moderated by Steve Heilig, MPH, Director of Public Health and Education at the San Francisco Medical Society and CHE. The call will last one hour and will be recorded for archival purposes.
