The VeHU Conference provides training to providers, nurses, health information managers, pharmacists, clinical informatics support staff, imaging coordinators, radiologists, and points of contact for the My HealtheVet web site.

VeHU currently has a group Facebook page and a Twitter feed. These social media sites are maintained and have current content posted daily based on VA's Social Media guidelines.
