The agenda will include review of the history of Manchester's use of Care in the Community (non-VA care and the CHOICE program); recommendations from seven clinical service lines; an update on facility master planning; an update on VA's market assessment work in New Hampshire; and an update on transforming the culture of Manchester VA.
