Health Analytics and Medical Readiness Program

CNA analysts help military medical leaders make informed decisions, curating approaches to solve challenges from the bedside to the strategic use of resources. The focus of the Health Analytics and Medical Readiness Program is on health and resilience across the Department of Defense. Our analysts are found in the field and assisting component and service commands. Our work informs policy on training, infrastructure, logistics, and acquisitions. We hold a range of advanced degrees including epidemiology, economics, medicine, nursing, and operations engineering.
