Defense Health Agency’s Post

When addressing Veterans’ health-related needs, it’s crucial to recognize that health outcomes are influenced by more than just healthcare access. Veterans frequently encounter obstacles such as: · Food insecurity, · Housing instability, · Transportation issues, · Limited job opportunities. But addressing these needs will span various organizations, providers, and clinics, leading to an increased likelihood of care fragmentation. Care coordination can help ensure that Veterans receive timely and high-quality care, avoid unnecessary duplication of services, and improve their overall health outcomes. #veterans #military #health #community #healthcare #government

The Veterans Health Administration’s (VHA’s) Community Care program is designed to provide Veterans with timely access to care. However, rapidly increasing program costs have drawn attention from the Department of Veterans Affairs and Congress. Artemis ARC and Aptive Resources surveyed VXC members to gain insight into Veterans' decision-making criteria for selecting community care over VHA care.

Post military health care is paramount to a successful transition, when leaving the Armed Forces. I in all honesty failed this part of the process, particularly when it came to dental care. Moving from a very functional health care support system to a more voluntary culture, let’s say it became I’ll do it tomorrow or next week or next month level of procrastination. Curently living with the want of a better phrase , with a mouth like a grave robbers dog. In two words self neglect. Constant pain, easy decisions on extractions, and at a point where it’s hard to eat. Now on a healthcare dental holiday, going through a very uncomfortable process of having all my dental issues rectified at an expense which could have been avoided. So if I could give any service leaver some hindsight sterling advice. “Don’t put it off”. Get registered as soon as you leave. Keep the appointments you only have one set of teeth. You’d be surprised how miserable life becomes if you don’t look after them………

Our nation’s 2.4 million veterans living in rural areas often face difficulties accessing Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) health care that those living in urban and suburban areas do not. Chief among them is transportation to VA medical facilities. The nearly 300,000 veterans living in areas considered highly rural face even greater obstacles and deserve increased attention to assistance in accessing VA’s high-quality health care. S. 3751, the Rural Veterans Transportation to Care Act, would help more veterans in highly rural areas get transportation to VA health facilities and access the health care benefits they’ve earned and need. This bipartisan bill would expand eligibility to the VA’s Highly Rural Transportation Grant Program, which provides grant funding for veteran service organizations and state veterans service agencies to provide veterans transportation in eligible counties by increasing the maximum amount of funding granted to purchase an ADA-compliant vehicle. DAV is proud to support the Rural Veterans Transportation to Care Act, in accordance with DAV Resolution No. 030, which calls for ensuring sufficient access to care to meet the health needs of veterans residing in rural or remote areas. This bill would help the VA provide all rural veterans better access to health care and help ensure our nation keeps its promises to America’s veterans. I am calling on YOU to contact their senators and urge them to co-sponsor and support this legislation. Thank you for participating & for your support. #DAV #veterans #advocacy #veteransupport
