What to expect from your M2VA care team

If you’re returning from military service, we can help you readjust to civilian life and get started with VA health care. We help service members enroll, transfer and manage VA care while transitioning or after discharge from active service. We can also help connect you with programs and services that you've earned while serving our country. We screen Post 9/11 era service members and Veterans for high risk factors and needs, and provide education on benefits such as: 

  • Disability benefits
  • Education/Veteran Readiness and Employment (VR&E)
  • Home loans
  • Health registries
  • Case management services
  • Polytrauma care
  • Rehabilitation
  • Mental health care
  • Counseling
  • Family benefits counseling
  • Referral assistance
