When we talk about palliative care, and especially when we talk about it in an aging context, we've had some changes within government policies so that the treatment of aging veterans has shifted over time. I think that's a key piece of consideration. We just published a report on aging veterans that I'd recommend reading. I know palliative care is not only an aging perspective, but I think that's something that we need to consider.
Within palliative care, I think it still leads into the health care system. We've worked at the level of physicians to try to increase military awareness, but it's not always the physicians who are spending a lot of time with our veterans. Oftentimes it is at different levels of health care, so we need to make sure that we are not only investing in primary care, that being frontline physicians and psychiatrists, but moving down the level of care to individuals who might see individuals in that state as well.
