My involvement in Veteran research began about ten to fifteen years ago through researchers at the [removed]. They were interested in Dryhootch of America, where I served as [removed]. We partnered in the Dryhootch Partners for Veteran Health–Veteran Centered Research and Action project to support mental health initiatives. I am an Army Veteran in recovery, and my passion for the past fifteen years has been working on Veterans’ issues and helping Veterans in their journey of transition to living a productive life, especially at points when they may not think they can. I’m also involved in some other peer support programs supporting suicide prevention ([removed]).I became involved with the [university name removed] and [patient engagement group name removed] group about five years ago. Although I have not personally experienced a healthcare-associated infection (HAI), I’ve known some Veterans who have gotten those infections while in the hospital, so I see these are things my fellow Veterans must deal with. I was immediately interested because if there is any way we can improve the lives of our Veterans, or my brothers and sisters, coming in and out of the hospital, it is worth doing.
