RP Professional Services, LLC (RP) proudly highlights Michael Hartnett’s involvement with Veterans Health – MIT Hacking Medicine 2024. This first-of-its-kind event was launched by Tampa VA, along with VHA Innovation Ecosystem, Microsoft, and MIT in order to design solutions to the top challenges facing Veteran health care. This is a cause that aligns closely with not only our company’s mission, as an SDVOSB, but also Michael’s own status as a United States Marine Corps Veteran.  

Michael joined other innovators, makers, scientists, nurses, doctors, entrepreneurs, programmers, engineers, researchers, artists, UX and CX designers to take steps towards completely reimagining the future of Veteran health care. The “hackers” utilized their eclectic skills set to find ways to revolutionize the care that will be provided for veterans moving forward.  

The attendees were selected through a nationally competitive process that ensured a diversity of background and expertise. The Hackathon event spanned over the course of three days, in which teams used generative AI tools provided by Microsoft and de-identified data from the VA to create solutions that addressed critical challenges set forth in VA’s Priorities to Action (P2A). 

Michael Hartnett is quoted, regarding the importance of this landmark hacking event: “As a disabled veteran who relies on the VA Health system, I am deeply committed to improving access and addressing problem areas to enhance the experience for my fellow veterans. Attending this event was a pleasure, as it allowed me to connect with others who share my concerns and witness the dedication of talented individuals working towards meaningful solutions. It was truly refreshing to see the VA’s genuine care and proactive efforts to improve the system for all veterans.” 

We are incredibly proud of Michael Hartnett, who is dedicated to driving innovation and excellence in support of our nation’s veterans. Michael’s participation in the Veteran’s Health – MIT Hacking Medicine Hackathon exemplifies the incredible work being done to enhance veterans’ healthcare and the leadership and commitment that define RP Professional Services. Hats off to you, Michael!
