Understanding Veterans in New York

On October 8, 2024, NYHealth hosted a conference to explore the results of a new report from the RAND Corporation, commissioned by NYHealth, on the health and wellbeing of New York State’s newest veterans. Based on a survey of New Yorkers who recently separated from military service, the report offers the first comprehensive look at New York veterans’ health and social service needs since RAND’s landmark needs assessment nearly 14 years ago.

Speakers were:

• Derek Coy, Senior Program Officer, New York Health Foundation
• Jordanna Mallach, Town Supervisor, Harrietstown, New York
• Jeanne S. Ringel, Senior Economist Director, RAND Corporation
• David Sandman, President and CEO, New York Health Foundation
• Jacob Skoda, Student Director – Veterans Rights Pro Bono Project, Albany Law School
• Gavin Walters, Director, Ulster County Vet2Vet Program
