STAMFORD, Conn., Nov. 06, 2017 -- SoldierStrong, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing advanced medical technologies to veterans, today announced the appointment of Donna Shalala, former Secretary of U.S. Health and Human Services (HHS), to its Advisory Board, effective immediately.
"We welcome Ms. Shalala to our Advisory Board. Her dedication to advocating for human interests and access to healthcare for all citizens will benefit our organization and the veteran we serve,” said Chris Meek, co-founder and chairman of SoldierStrong.
Shalala served as Secretary of the HHS, whose mission is to enhance and protect the health and well-being of all Americans.
