The theme of this year's conference is "Combat Support: Ready, Resilient, Lethal."

DHITS is an annual three-day conference, sponsored by the Defense Health Agency. Conference attendees are comprised of government, military, and industry healthcare IM/IT professionals. DHITS provides a collaborative environment for MHS leadership and staff, as well as our industry partners, to discuss and reinforce new approaches, innovations, and guidelines.
