Medical Care.
The United States Department of Veterans Affairs (USDVA)
operates Medical Centers across the United States.
Veterans are eligible for treatment at any facility, anywhere,
not solely in his or her home state.
Eligibility for treatment at a USDVA Medical
Center is determined by the USDVA.
Special consideration is afforded certain veterans, such as
former prisoners of war. If
you are interested in treatment at a USDVA facility, you can make
application either directly to that facility or your
County Veterans Service Office can assist with your application.
Once the USDVA receives your application, they
will make a determination regarding your eligibility for treatment.
Veterans requiring emergency medical care are
urged to seek such care at the NEAREST medical facility, whether or not
it is a veterans medical center. Once
stabilized, veterans can request transfer to a USDVA medical center.
The United States Department of Veterans Affairs
offers a very wide range of medical services, much too extensive to
list here. For further
information or to request admission or treatment, contact your
County Veterans Service Office or the nearest United States Department of
Veterans Affairs Medical Center.
