Patient advocates
The Patient Advocates at North Florida/South Georgia Veterans Health System are specially trained to help you resolve issues with your care. If you have experienced any problems that you haven't been able to resolve by talking with your care team, please reach out to one of our Patient Advocates. The Veterans Experience Office welcomes any and all suggestions that one may have related to their care, their experiences, and ideas for how the North Florida/South Georgia Veterans Health System can continue to improve the experience that Veterans and their families and/or caregivers have.
