We build relationships with VSOs at the national, state and county levels to raise awareness of military asbestos exposure. We want to ensure that when a service officer learns of a veteran’s mesothelioma diagnosis, they have a network they can turn to immediately for help.

More than 1,900 VSOs have participated in training with us. Partnering with our Veterans Outreach program is the best way to ensure noveteran with mesothelioma canceris left behind.

The team also participates in conferences organized by VSOs such as the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Disabled American Veterans and other associations and government offices that serve veterans.
