LGBTQ+ Veteran Care
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VHA) is committed to providing quality care to all Veterans inclusive of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans-identifying, and queer/questioning (LGBTQ+) Veterans. Excellent care has no boundaries.
LGBTQ+
LGBTQ+ refers to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and trans-identifying identities. The ‘Q’ refers to queer identities, as well as those who are questioning their sexual orientation. The + sign is meant to be inclusive of sexual orientations.
The Birmingham VA Health Care System seeks to promote the health, welfare, and dignity of LGBTQ+ Veterans and their families. We are committed to making sensitive and high-quality health care accessible. Our employees are prepared to provide personalized, patient-centered care in a safe, affirming, and welcoming environment.
LGBTQ+ Veteran Care Coordinator (VCC) Program
Every VA facility has a local LGBTQ+ Veteran Care Coordinator (VCC) who can connect you with services and help you navigate specialized resources.
