The VHP Veteran Health Program recognizes the complex medical requirements presented by military service and focuses on healing, comfort, and care for veterans and their families. The program was created to address the often-complicated healthcare needs of our Veterans and their families. VHP Veteran Health Program clinical professionals do this by collaborating with the local Veteran Affairs/ Department of Defense. The team strives to provide a coordinated quality experience by managing healthcare risk in our community that

• improves lives.
• contributes to a healthy workforce; and
• reduces costs for individuals and employers alike.

The program’s unique approach allows us to offer whole-person care—not just medical—to address other important life factors that improve the well-being of veterans, their family, and their caregivers. Offering a variety of expertise in one place will reduce the frustration of navigating blindly. The program’s vision is to offer a fully coordinated healthcare experience in association with the Department of Defense through TRICARE, the Mission Act, and other similar programs with the Department of Veterans Affairs. VHP Veteran Health Program staff respect your service, strive to gain trust, work to support your health care needs, and to offer wellness opportunities for a better lifestyle.

VHP Veteran Health Program’s service pillars include

• Access to care by working cooperatively with the Department of Defense/TRICARE and VA’s Community Care Program to offer a seamless experience with LVHN’s health services.
• Navigation and coordination Navigating and coordinating care can be complex. We will help and guide you with our knowledgeable and experienced staff.
• Guidance and planning A case manager will interview you and create a personalized care and action plan. As a bonus, we work with community partners to bridge gaps if additional support services are needed.

According to Alexander Alex, Lt. Col., USAF, MSC, (Ret.), Director of the Veteran Health Program, “We are changing the well-being and lives of our veterans and service members. To our knowledge, this is a unique program that assists veterans with accessing their benefits and the care they deserve. Our aim is to work closely with the VA and DOD health care to deliver a seamless experience.”
