Women Veterans, you may be surprised to learn about all VA has to offer. If you haven’t checked out VA in a while, things have changed. We recognize each of you are unique and your health care needs are not “one-size-fits-all.” That’s why VA continues to expand its services, so we can provide you with the best care possible to better fit your needs.
VVA Women’s Medical Services
When it comes to your health and well-being, we have you covered. VA is a one-stop-shop where you can receive care coordination for all your health needs in one place. You have access to a full spectrum of gender-specific comprehensive health care at VA, and our Whole Health approach is all about focusing on what matters to you.
Your VA health care coordination includes primary and preventative care, reproductive health, fertility services, maternity care, mental health, and resources for your overall well-being, like exercise, sleep, and nutrition.
We’re here to support you in all stages of your life through gender-specific care (including LGBTQ+ health), preventive care, and general primary care for acute and chronic illnesses. You can receive routine wellness exams as well as cervical cancer screening (Pap tests), breast cancer screening (mammograms), birth control and vaccines.
We understand not every woman’s journey is the same when it comes to pregnancy or family building. VA is a trusted partner in discussing sensitive reproductive health topics, such as fertility, birth control, menopause and more.
We also understand women Veterans may face unique mental health challenges and we work to address them directly through evaluation, counseling, and treatment.
Call or text 1-855-VA-WOMEN or visit VA’s women’s health website at www.womenshealth.va.gov to learn more. If you haven’t been using VA’s health services, we invite you to give us a chance. And if there’s something on your mind, talk to your VA health care team about it. We can most likely help. Courtesy VA.
