NIDHC Board of Advisors

The National Institute for Defense Health Cooperation (NIDHC) is overseen by a Board of Advisors consisting of senior federal executives from the Departments of War (DoW), State (DoS), Health and Human Services (HHS), Homeland Security (DHS), Transportation (DoT), and Veterans Affairs (VA). NIDHC leadership provides semi-annual updates to the advisory board, allowing the DoW and the interagency to guide the organization's strategic direction and ensure alignment with federal medical and public health priorities.
