Serving Veterans Podcast
Across the United States, millions of veterans navigate a complex maze of systems to access basic care—yet, despite billions in funding, too many fall through the cracks. Serving Veterans is a podcast series that explores the current landscape of veteran services and the latest technologies implemented to better serve veterans’ needs.
Hosted by Northwestern University’s Network for Nonprofit and Social Impact (NNSI), this series draws from original NNSI studies and conversations with leaders across the VA and veteran-serving organizations.
