FEATURED EVENT
VetsCAN Forum on Zoom
May 21, 3-4:30 p.m. on Zoom
OBJECTIVE: Veterans Smile
Our guest will be Kyle Arneson, Founder of OBJECTIVE: Veterans Smile.
OBJECTIVE: Veterans Smile funds dental care appointments for Veterans. Unless a Veteran is declared 100% disabled, the Veterans Administration (VA), they do not offer dental care, after having the world’s best dental care while on active duty. As a result, many of our Veterans are suffering from poor oral hygiene, which can cause systemic disease, a lack of self-esteem, and force many to retire from society. OBJECTIVE: Veterans Smile helps meet this serious need.
FEATURED RESEARCH
RAND
Report: “State-Level Summaries of Veteran Needs and Well-Being”
National programs operated by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) or by national veteran-serving nonprofits may distribute their resources at the state or regional Veterans Integrated Service Networks level.
The authors of this report present several measures of veteran service needs for each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia. These state-specific profiles show how veterans’ needs vary substantially across states and how these differences should be considered when funding, designing, or implementing services and benefits designed to improve the lives of veterans.
