Policies and practices to know
The Veteran Care Coordinator can help you get started with care or with navigating any of these issues.
Visitation: A family member, friend, or other individual can be present with the patient for emotional support during the course of the patient's stay.
Definition of family: "Family" may include individual(s) not legally related to the individual. Family members include spouses, domestic partners and significant others.
Advance directives: Veterans may designate any person as a decision-maker for care if they won't be able to make these decisions themselves. Advance directive agents are chosen by the Veteran and do not need to be biologically related.
Documentation in medical records: Cheyenne VA maintains the confidentiality of information about identity and sexual orientation, just like any other private health information.
Changing name or sex in records: Your name in your medical record will reflect your legal name. Your medical record also reflects birth sex. There are established procedures for updating your name and sex with the Enrollment office. Please contact your Veteran Care Coordinator for more information or assistance with this process.
