The VA is recruiting for a Veteran and Family Engagement Group for a project that is focused on improving nursing care at the Veterans Health Administration. Perspectives can help improve care for all veterans by ensuring research addresses real issues that are meaningful to you, reaches the bedside faster so you all can benefit quicker, and is guided by your experiences. The project focuses on key areas over 5 years:

Nursing Work Environment: Have you noticed poor communication, noise, or other challenges while receiving care?
Care Coordination: Was your care smooth between hospital stays, primary care, or specialists? Did you understand and have everything you needed to take care of you.
Nurse Staffing: How staffing levels affected your experience.
Pressure Injuries: improving how nurses help manage and prevent these injuries.

HBOT will be provided on a sliding scale fee. Our focus will be to help veterans, including those that are homeless, but we will also be working with all Montana brain injury survivors.

This event is open to all ability levels and is a great way to raise awareness while enjoying a beautiful Missoula morning. REGISTER
- Then, on Saturday, July 12th, we’re heading up to the stunning Montana Snowbowl for our annual Big Sky Challenge Hike. Choose from a variety of hike lengths—or come hang out at Base Camp with the BIAMT crew if you’d prefer to relax and connect instead. REGISTER Enjoy a registration discount when you sign up for both events today! We are so grateful for the continued support of our community. We couldn’t do this important work without you.
