Washington, DC – The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) announced that the VA Health Chat app is now available across all 18 Veterans Integrated Service Networks (VISNs). This significant expansion aims to improve healthcare access and communication for veterans nationwide.
VA Health Chat allows veterans to connect directly with VA healthcare professionals via online messaging or text, facilitating timely responses to healthcare inquiries. This app is designed to enhance the convenience and efficiency of scheduling appointments, managing prescriptions, and addressing other health-related concerns. According to VA officials, the app will also assist in community care coordination, making it easier for veterans to relay important information and receive timely care.
“The expansion of VA Health Chat ensures that more veterans can benefit from immediate and flexible communication with their healthcare teams,” said VA Secretary Robert Wilkie. “This initiative underscores our commitment to leveraging technology to enhance veterans’ healthcare experiences.”
Veterans can access the VA Health Chat app through their mobile devices or web browsers, providing a secure platform to manage their healthcare needs anytime and anywhere. The app’s rollout is part of VA’s ongoing efforts to integrate innovative digital solutions to support veteran care.
