About Ron Haskell

As Director of Broadcast and Video at the Veterans Health Administration, I lead national broadcast operations for the largest integrated healthcare system in the U.S. My work focuses on delivering compelling, high-profile programming featuring senior VA leadership while engaging millions of veterans and staff. I design and execute system-wide media initiatives, including satellite media tours, live forums, and podcasts, to enhance communication and expand the VA’s audience reach. My expertise in strategic communications, congressional affairs, and on-air engagement drives a commitment to creating content that informs, inspires, and elevates the VA\'s brand voice. By collaborating with teams and senior leaders, I strive to foster meaningful connections and deliver impactful storytelling that aligns with the VA’s mission to serve veterans and their families.
