The Santa Monica Daily Press quoted Dr. Elizabeth Yano, professor in the Department of Health Policy and Management, about veterans' health research.
The Santa Monica Daily Press quoted Dr. Elizabeth Yano, (PhD, ’95) professor in the Department of Health Policy and Management, about research into veterans' health by faculty and alums of the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health.
"Most VA researchers also deliver care to veterans, so they often use problems they observe and that veterans experience to drive their ideas for change, whether that's new treatments or new ways of delivering their care to make it easier to access and better quality,” said Dr. Elizabeth Yano, who directs the VA's Center for the Study of Healthcare Innovation, Implementation & Policy at the VA Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System and earned a doctorate at UCLA Fielding. "So bottom line, it's to improve care at the VA and veterans' health outcomes. It's everything from immediate care needs for mental health crises to healthy aging and everything in between.”
Also quoted were UCLA faculty (and UCLA Fielding alumni) Dr. Isomi Miake-Lye, Dr. Russell Buhr, Dr. Fola May, and Dr. Carlos Oronce.
