@deptvetaffairs.bsky.socialVA after dark is real 🌝 More than 3.2 MILLION appointments offered outside normal operating hours!
@deptvetaffairs.bsky.socialTreatment can mean therapy, medication, or both, matched to you.
@deptvetaffairs.bsky.socialCommunity organizations are critical to reaching Veterans who may not otherwise connect with VA care. VA’s Fox grant program often serves as a bridge between vital federal resources and vulnerable Veterans in need of support.
@deptvetaffairs.bsky.socialDid you know VA burial benefits can help honor eligible Veterans laid to rest outside a VA national cemetery?
@deptvetaffairs.bsky.socialBehind every Gold Star is a family who carries that loss for a lifetime. Austin carries his dad’s memory with him every day, and has turned that loss into a life of helping others. We will always honor his father’s sacrifice and the family that carries his legacy forward.
@deptvetaffairs.bsky.socialToday and every day, thank you to America’s amazing Veterans! VA exists because of you, and we are here to serve you.
@deptvetaffairs.bsky.socialEvery day the shutdown drags on, more Veterans are blocked from VA job training and career counseling services. VA is ready to help, but Congressional Democrats are stopping us from doing so.
@deptvetaffairs.bsky.socialDespite the Democrat government shutdown, VA health care facilities are open, our crisis line is live, and benefits are being processed and delivered. Learn more about how the shutdown impacts VA here: department.va.gov/contingency-...
@deptvetaffairs.bsky.socialIn the past, too many decisions at VA came from the top down and caused problems. We’re flipping that and empowering VA frontline teams to do what’s best for Veterans.
@deptvetaffairs.bsky.socialUnder President Trump, we are empowering VA leaders to cut through red tape and put Veterans first.
@deptvetaffairs.bsky.socialUnder President Trump, VA is squarely focused on its core mission, and services to Veterans are improving. Performance is up and the backlog of Veterans waiting for VA benefits is down nearly 50%.
@deptvetaffairs.bsky.socialWe inherited a billion-dollar electronic health record project that had stalled under the previous administration. Now it’s back on track and scheduled to go live at 13 sites next year.
@deptvetaffairs.bsky.socialVA has opened 20 new health care clinics during the second Trump Administration. We’re bringing more care and convenience to Veterans, closer to home!
@deptvetaffairs.bsky.socialWe would like to thank the academy for being considered for this list. Truth seems hard to accept on this platform but we will continue to provide the best for our Veterans and the truth to this community! 😎
@deptvetaffairs.bsky.socialGood Morning to our fellow Americans who are celebrating No Kings Day today.
While most of us celebrate this reality on July 4th, you do you!
