MEMO Updates & Events 📝
GM 2 — Guest Speaker Dr. Lu Le (Psychiatrist & MEMO Advisor)
Join us this Thursday, January 29th to meet Dr. Lu Le, a physician with an incredible story of service! He came to the U.S. from Vietnam as a refugee at age 10 then joined the U.S. Navy during medical school. He served five years as a Lieutenant Commander and lead medical officer in the Middle East!
Today, he currently directs a program helping Veterans with PTSD, homelessness, and addiction while also being a MEMO advisor! This would be an amazing opportunity to connect and ask questions from a current physician. We are so excited to see you all there! 😁
