SUMMARY:Veterans and Digital Equity: Planning for Success
DESCRIPTION:Join us on November 12th at 2 PM ET on the Benton Institute’s Youtube page and X account for a discussion about how states are meeting the digital technology needs of Veterans. \nThe Digital Equity Act identifies Veterans as a covered population\, recognizing that Veterans disproportionately experience inadequate access to technology and the Internet. This lack of access becomes more visible when the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) tries to employ telemedicine and other technology-enabled approaches to serving Veterans. \nThe Benton Institute for Broadband & Society has worked with the VA’s Office of Connected Care and Office of Rural Engagement to analyze state digital equity plans and highlight some of the most promising approaches to address Veterans’ broadband and digital technology needs. \nTo mark Veterans Day\, we will launch a research report and hold a webinar with state and federal officials and valued non-profit partners for a focused discussion on the needs\, perspectives\, and possibilities for better connectivity Veterans. \nReid Sharkey of the Benton Institute for Broadband & Society will moderate a panel with the following speakers: \n\nDr. Leonie Heyworth\, Deputy Director for Clinical Services\, Telehealth Services\, Office of Connected Care\, Digital Health Office\, VHA\, Department of Veterans Affairs\nDr. Lindsey Thurgood\, Digital Access Program Manager\, Utah Broadband Center\nMark Casper\, President and CEO\, Tech For Troops\nWalter Prescher\, Digital Navigator\, BridgingApps Rep\, Easter Seals Greater Houston\n\nWatch the webinar on Youtube \nWatch the webinar on X \nPlease RSVP here.
