"Health Net is honored to sponsor the AMVETS Symposium and partner to help meet the changing needs of a new generation of wartime Veterans," said Steve Tough, president, Government & Specialty Services division, which includes Health Net Federal Services. We commend AMVETS' dedication to being a leader in the discussion by recommending opportunities to better serve Veterans returning from current conflicts. We highly value the work of organizations like AMVETS."
The goals of the AMVETS Symposium are to bring together a cross-section of post-9/11 Veterans from diverse backgrounds to participate in the discussion, identify new problems that have arisen since the last AMVETS Symposium in 2006, and produce a comprehensive report to guide AMVETS and other agencies in meeting the needs of the newest generation of Veterans. The Symposium is held in conjunction with the AMVETS 66th National Convention, which is attended by Veterans, their spouses, children and grandchildren.
