Veterans
Our Mission:
Honoring service, healing heroes: Access to care for service members, veterans, and their families, always.
At Valley HealthCare System, we serve all Service Members, Veterans, and their families. It doesn't matter what the discharge is, whether active service member or veteran, or if you are a family member who wants help. We are here to help everyone in the military community. Our staff are trained in military culture and understand the importance of individualized care for all.
Our Peer Specialists can help veterans navigate the VA system to connect to services they are eligible to receive. We can also help link and refer those who do not quality for VA services to other services where they will receive the same respect and treatment the VA offers.
