Transition and Care Management

About the Clinic

As part of our commitment to returning combat Veterans, we have created the Integrated Care Clinic. It is located with the Medical Practice Clinic, Building 200, 1st Floor, or for our female Veterans in the Women's Health Center, Building 203, 1st Floor.  This is designed specifically to meet the health care needs of our returning Veterans.

This clinic co-locates Primary Care, Mental Health, and Social Work Services. During the first visit, you can meet with a Primary Care Provider for a comprehensive health exam, with a Combat Stress Specialist to discuss readjustment, and with a Case Manager to address other post-deployment issues.

Readjustment Counseling

We also provide extensive mental health services to help with any readjustment issues. PTSD programs now offer group therapy sessions that involve family members and we are increasing our hours of service into the evening to better accommodate the needs of Veterans. New patients can be scheduled for an appointment within 14 days of contacting the Medical Center and a mental health professional is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for urgent needs.
