Sean O’Connor: From Navy Officer to Healthcare Innovator Fighting for Veterans Who Can’t Wait

Access to healthcare is a lifeline. In this powerful conversation, Sean O’Connor, retired Navy officer and President & Co-Founder of DexCare, reveals the stark reality facing America’s veterans: despite the VA’s $121 billion budget, 18 veterans still die by suicide every day. The same number as 20 years ago.

Sean takes us from Capitol Hill meetings with Congress to the front lines of healthcare innovation, explaining why the nation’s largest health system still can’t offer basic online scheduling. Drawing from personal experience, including his father’s 18 9/11-related illnesses, Sean makes the case for why modernizing access means honoring those who served by building systems that actually work for them.

Discover how capacity orchestration, not capacity shortage, creates the real barrier to care, and why the future of veteran healthcare depends on getting this right.
