VA Heartland Network - VISN 15

 

Returning Service Members

The VA Heartland Network (VISN 15) is grateful to the committment and steadfast dedication of all service men and women who have risked their lives to protect their country, both at home and abroad.

Special Teams at local VA Medical Centers call "Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and Operation New Dawn (OEF/OIF/OND) Teams" are available to serve Veterans that have participated in each of those campaigns. Each Veteran initially has five (5) years of health care and 180 days to apply for dental care at their nearest VA following discharge or retirement.

Services are provided to all OEF/OIF/OND Veterans returning from modern warfare in Iraq, Afghanistan and other sites in support of modern wars. Coordination of care and linkage to care are provided to all Veterans who need help. Our aim is to assist with the transition of Soldiers from the military into the VA Medical Centers for health care and coordination of deserved benefits. The VAMC have developed specialized programs, clinics, counseling, and outreach activities to help reintegrate each Soldier back into his or her community.
