Defense Health Network Pacific Rim Director Rear Adm. Guido Valdes talks with Patrick Picardo, executive director of the Office of VA/DoD Health Affairs, Veterans Health Administration, during a meeting July 10 to discuss implementation of a DOD and VA initiative to expand healthcare collaboration. Two of DHN-PR’s hospitals, Naval Medical Center San Diego and Naval Hospital Camp Pendleton, have been designated jointly due to their proximity as one of five initial shared sites nationwide to enhance readiness skills for DoD medical professionals, expand access to care for TRICARE beneficiaries and veterans and reduce network costs. They will do this by leveraging shared clinical workload capacity, aligning operational capabilities, and improving care coordination between Defense Health Agency facilities and VA healthcare systems.
