WASHINGTON, DC – Titan Alpha, a joint venture between Prometheus Federal Services (PFS) and Customer Value Partners (CVP), was awarded a contract to assist the Veteran Health Administration’s (VHA) National Specialty Care Program Office (SCPO). 

As the nation’s largest integrated healthcare system, VHA has a rich history of discovery and innovation and is the only health system that conducts research and educates health professionals to address the unique health issues affecting Veterans. The VHA SPCO encompasses a front office, 25 medical specialties, and six centers of excellence. SCPO is responsible for the development of policies, clinical operations, and implementation of national initiatives related to the delivery of specialty care enterprise wide.  

SCPO has evolved from being a program office primarily responsible for policy, consultation, and education, to a program office with responsibility for policy and operations of national programs, centers of excellence, and specialty areas. 

“We are excited and ready to support the VHA SCPO in a variety of tasks and activities to enhance and improve specialty care for Veterans and their families,” says Stan Shin, PFS Vice President, Transformation & Program Management. “We are committed to providing the highest quality support and operational improvements to enable the VHA SCPO to treat and care for our Veterans and their families with the best specialized care.” 

The Titan Alpha team will assist SCPO leaders in optimizing the operations of SCPO programs and facilitate the development, implementation, and evaluation of specialty care programs, projects, and initiatives.

WASHINGTON, DC – Titan Alpha, a joint venture between Prometheus Federal Services (PFS) and Customer Value Partners (CVP), was awarded a contract to support the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Veterans Health Administration’s (VHA) Specialty Care Services’ National Oncology Program (NOP) Cancer Moonshot initiative.

In early 2022, President Biden relaunched the Cancer Moonshot with a clear goal: to reduce cancer mortality by 50 percent over the next 25 years. Cancer is the second leading cause of death among Veterans, with approximately 43,000 new cases of cancer diagnosed every year. VHA is the largest integrated provider of oncology care in the nation, and its mission is to improve the lives of Veterans with cancer. It does this by implementing a learning healthcare model that quickly transitions new knowledge into clinical practice, and to maximize learning from clinical practice.

Under the inter-organizational and inter-agency Cancer Moonshot, the Titan Alpha team will develop a national two-year communications campaign, which will amplify the NOP and VHA programs services (for example Radiation Oncology, Lung Cancer Screening, Gastrointestinal and Hepatology, Pathology and Diagnostics) and specific Cancer Moonshot initiatives. The campaign will specifically focus on expanding awareness for internal and external audiences about the care and services available and VA accomplishments in innovative cancer care for all Veterans.

“Many of our lives have been touched by cancer,” states Marissa Smith, PFS Project Manager and Communications Lead for this contract. “It is an honor and a privilege to support VHA’s Cancer Moonshot effort. We not only bring our strategic communications and management expertise to this program—but we bring our personal experiences and passion, as well. We are eager to help more Veterans learn about what VHA is doing to innovate in the realm of cancer, and to access care and services available to them.”

WASHINGTON, DC – Titan Alpha, a joint venture between Prometheus Federal Services (PFS) and Customer Value Partners (CVP), was awarded a contract with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Veterans Health Administration’s (VHA) Center for Care and Payment Innovation (CCPI) to continue supporting programmatic requirements to its VETSmile Pilot Program.  

Regular dental care is a preventative remedy to improve overall health and wellbeing; however, there are currently 7.8 million Veterans enrolled in VA healthcare who are ineligible for VA dental benefits. To better meet the need for affordable Veteran dental care, the Center for Care and Payment Innovation implemented a new pilot program in 2021 called VETSmile. VETSmile aims to improve Veterans’ access to dental care by establishing a referral network of community dental care partners (DCPs) that provide a dental home for Veterans at a discounted rate.  

“With this contract award, Titan Alpha will continue its work to help ensure that the pilot program can serve Veterans in accessing low-cost or pro bono dental services in the community,” says Melisa Foronda, MPH, PFS Project Manager for VETSmile, “Through detailed planning efforts, communication and outreach initiatives, and dedicated program support, we look forward to helping the VETSmile program successfully and sustainably provide Veterans with access to dental care.” 

In its initial year, with Titan Alpha support, VETSmile engaged 50+ DCPs nationwide, helping 2,900+ Veterans connect with dentists through 4,800+ patients visits and 10,000+ dental procedures at 14 sites in seven states. In this next phase, the VETSmile program will focus on monitoring and oversight of the program. The team will also implement a communications strategy to reach stakeholders and strategic partners to ensure eligible Veterans have access to affordable dental care.

WASHINGTON, DC – Prometheus Federal Services (PFS) is proud to announce Titan Alpha’s blog With TeleOncology, VA stands shoulder-to-shoulder with Veterans in rural areas to reduce disparities in cancer care recently won for exceptional work in Online Media and Journalism by the Association for Women in Communications (AWC) Clarion Awards. Titan Alpha, a joint venture between PFS and Atlas Research, an affiliate of CVP Group, LLC, supports the Veterans Health Affairs’ National Oncology Program with communication support.

The winning blog describes the National TeleOncology service and the benefits it provides to patients at VA centers that do not have an on-site oncologist. Now, more Veterans in rural and underserved areas have access to cancer-related screenings, diagnostics, and treatment– including rehabilitation and palliative care. Since its launch in 2019, approximately 5500 Veterans received high-quality cancer treatment through this VA program.

This blog and two other National Oncology Program blogs will be highlighted at the AWC National Professional Development Conference as examples of excellence in clear, concise communications.

“VHA is one of the largest providers of oncology services in the nation, and TeleOncology is a big piece of why that’s the case,” shares Greg Smallwood, CEO of PFS, the managing partner of Titan Alpha. “The more stories we tell about how VHA focuses on cancer prevention, detection, and innovative care, the more we can raise awareness about these services. This means more can get the care they need. We are honored to support VA’s mission through these stories we help tell.”

The Association for Women in Communications is an American professional organization that has been supporting women in the communications industry for more than 100 years.

Titan Alpha is a verified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) joint venture of PFS and Atlas Research, an affiliate of CVP Group, LLC. This joint venture is built upon a well-established partnership that dates to an October 2017 Mentor-Protégé Agreement between the two companies.

Titan Alpha will support the Task Force that is charged with examining policies, programs, and infrastructure that constitute I-DEA and produce recommendations that will chart a course of action for I-DEA at VA.  Specifically, the team will develop and implement a communications plan that supports the I-DEA Action Plans and ORMDI’s efforts to implement Executive Orders 13985, 14031, 14035 and subsequent Executive Orders.  On a prior contract, Titan Alpha worked with ORMDI leaders and I-DEA Task Force members to develop and implement the Master Implementation Plan for the Executive Orders and the I-DEA Task Force recommendations at VA.

“The I-DEA Task Force recommendations will eliminate barriers and create access points for underserved communities, and ensure all VA employees, Veterans, their families, caregivers, and survivors have equitable treatment and experiences when interacting with VA,” said PFS Vice President, Kamran Sartaj.  “This second contract with ORMDI allows Titan Alpha to apply expertise in communications, change management, and program management to implement Section 5303 of Public Law 116-315, Title V (Deborah Sampson Act) that mandates the VA have a comprehensive enterprise policy and approach to addressing harassment and sexual assault.”
