VA has provided life insurance for over 100 years to our nation’s service members, Veterans, and their dependents. Life insurance protects loved ones financially after the death of the insured.
In November 2018, Edward Hines, Jr. VA Hospital opened Freedoms Path Hines II, an apartment building on its campus in Hines, Illinois, offering 52 one-, two-, and three-bedroom units to eligible local Veterans through the Housing and Urban Development-VA Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH) program.
VA nurse Cheryl Owens, daughter of Tuskegee, has thought a lot about the weight of history and the skepticism and distrust for the health care industry that lingers in the African American community.
Prolonged exposure for primary care (PE-PC) uses essentially the same concepts in a briefer format, with a less demanding in-session time commitment (four to eight 30-minute sessions versus 8 to 15 90-minute sessions). Plus, all of the treatment is done in a primary care setting.
Our intermediate care technicians (ICTs) were all once heroes on the battlefield. They helped care for fellow service members while serving as military corpsmen, combat medics and medical technicians. Through VA’s ICT program, they’ve become heroes in our hospitals and medical centers as well, using their military training to provide the highest quality of care to America’s Veterans.
