Million Veteran Program
Posted on Friday, July 14, 2017 at 9:24 AM

On August 25 from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm, Erie Veterans will have the opportunity to learn about and volunteer to join the Million Veteran Program (MVP). Researchers will be at the Erie VAMC in the Mobile Vet Center located outside the 2nd floor entrance. 

MVP is the world's largest database of health and genomic information, with more than 560,000 U.S. Veterans included nationally. It links genetic, clinic, lifestyle, and military-exposure information to help researchers learn about the role of genes in health and disease with the goal of improving health care for Veterans. 

Veterans can call 1-866-441-6075 or visit www.research.va.gov/mvp to learn more about MVP.
