Hours calls in November and December- Health Care Navigators
The SSVF Program
Office will hold a series of live webinars for the Health Care Navigators
beginning November 6, 2020 through December 11, 2020. These webinars will
supplement the pre-recorded training modules available on the SSVF learning
management site (LMS) and the SSVF website. The live webinars will ensure
that each Health Care Navigator understands their role and responsibilities in
terms of providing services to Veterans. The live and pre-recorded
webinars will also ensure that each Health Care Navigator has a basic
understanding of community health care resources, VA health care, VA
eligibility and enrollment, and other services available to Veterans.
