Programs

Veterans Medical Care

Care for veterans in housing, and for veterans who are still outside.

What this covers

Most veterans we see arrive with more than one thing wrong, and with a history of care that stopped and started. Our job is to make it continuous.

  • Assessment of the whole situation — not one complaint at a time
  • Primary care coordination, and referral into specialty care that will actually see you
  • Management of the chronic conditions that arrive untreated: diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease
  • Pain assessment that does not begin from suspicion
  • Medication review, including reducing what should not still be prescribed
  • Transport coordination, so an appointment is a thing that happens rather than a thing that was offered

Coordinated, not duplicated

Where you are eligible for VA care, we coordinate with the VA Healthcare System rather than replacing it — including its mental health and substance use services. Where you are not eligible, we work through community health centers. Duplicating a service that already exists in St. Louis would waste money that should be treating someone.

Eligibility

Veterans in the St. Louis region who are experiencing homelessness, who are housed through Valor Villages, or who are at risk of losing housing because of a health condition. Discharge status does not disqualify you from being assessed.
