"OUR NEW 'VETERANS HEALTH CENTER' IS THE LATEST EXAMPLE OF
HOW WE FULFILL OUR COMMITMENT TO VETERANS, WITH THE MOST-ADVANCED
COMMUNICATIONS AND INFORMATION-TECHNOLOGY AVAILABLE. THE SITE'S
INITIAL FOCUS IS ON SUCH SUBJECTS AS 'GULF-WAR SYNDROME',
'POST-TRAUMATIC-STRESS DISORDER', AND HEALTH-COMPLICATIONS ASSOCIATED
WITH 'AGENT ORANGE'. AND, WE'RE PLANNING ON USING IT TO EXPAND THE
DISCUSSION ON SUCH CRITICAL ISSUES AS FEMALE VETERANS' CARE, TRAUMATIC
BRAIN-INJURY, AND RESPIRATORY-PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH BURN-PIT

LONG-STANDING SUPPORT FOR DIABETES-RESEARCH: DISABLED VETERANS ARE
PARTICULARLY SUSCEPTIBLE TO DIABETES. BUT, WITH PROPER CARE AND
ACTION, IT CAN BE CONTROLLED OR PREVENTED."
