Military and Veterans Health

Supporting Those Who Serve

How do we improve the quality of health care and support services to meet the unique and evolving needs of our nation’s active-duty service members, Veterans, and their families? Through survey science and advanced data analytics, Altarum is helping to reduce the risk among active-duty service members and Veterans for infectious diseases, chronic health conditions, and mental health outcomes, such as depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder.

Our history with the military health system dates back more than 40 years, with clients including the Defense Health Agency, the Department of Veterans Affairs, among others. We combine institutional knowledge of military health datasets with the latest scientific research methods to uncover insights that drive better outcomes, improve patient experience, and increase access to care for those who served, and continue to serve, our country.
