Focus Areas

The Office of Discovery, Education, and Affiliate Networks (DEAN) enhances Veterans' health care through three key pillars: Elevating Care, Empowering Learning, and Enhancing Collaboration. Each pillar plays a vital role in ensuring Veterans receive the best possible health care services.

  • Elevating Care focuses on improving the quality and accessibility of health care for Veterans. By introducing the latest medical technologies and innovative care practices, DEAN ensures that Veterans have access to advanced treatments and personalized care, significantly enhancing their health and well-being.
  • Empowering Learning is all about providing top-notch education and training for health care professionals who care for Veterans. DEAN invests in programs that keep these professionals at the forefront of medical knowledge and techniques, ensuring Veterans benefit from skilled and informed care providers.
  • Enhancing Collaboration emphasizes the importance of working together with various organizations and experts. By fostering partnerships across the health care and research communities, DEAN is able to share knowledge, resources, and best practices, leading to more effective health care solutions and a broader impact on Veterans' health.

Together, these pillars ensure that Veterans receive comprehensive, state-of-the-art care. DEAN's approach not only addresses the current health care needs of Veterans but also anticipates future challenges, making a significant difference in the lives of those who have served our nation.
