Alyssa Fine
US Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, Nurse Officer - Policy Analyst
Through my work as a nurse and U.S. Public Health Service officer, I’ve had the privilege of serving diverse communities—including American Indian/Alaska Native populations, elders, incarcerated individuals, and people facing economic hardship. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of how systemic inequities affect access to care.
Health equity isn’t just a concept for me—it’s something I put into practice every day. I understand how essential culturally competent, trauma-informed care is for veterans, and I value the trust that must be earned to provide it effectively. My experience in uniform and in public health has given me insight into both the
systemic challenges and personal sacrifices faced by service members.
