(PSI) (NASDAQ: PSYS) and its PSI Patriot Support initiative recently sponsored a booth at the 2010 TRICARE Communications and Customer Service conference in New Orleans.

The conference gave more than 500 Military Health System customer service and communications staff the opportunity to network and learn about changes to military healthcare benefits and focus on providing the best possible services to their customers.

“Anytime we have a platform to talk about our Patriot Support facilities and the services and treatment available, we take advantage,” said Andy Laning, executive director of military affairs for PSI. “The conference offered us a great networking experience and up-to-date information about what is happening in military healthcare.”

Keynote speaker Christine Humber, deputy director of TRICARE Management Activity, and motivational speaker Jake Poore presented at the Aug. 3 - 5 event. PSI Patriot Support served as the only behavioral health supporter at the conference.
