Health concern? VA Health Connect nurses are available 24/7
A concerned Veteran recently reached out to VA Health Connect for assistance. The 80-year-old man was worried about taking too many pills as his home health aide had not visited in a while. His situation was more complex, with his house being condemned due to structural issues and an infestation.
The Veteran's emergency contact had also passed away. A VA Health Connect clinical triage nurse responded to his call and arranged a wellness check, ensuring the Veteran received help and support, including food, from authorities. Further details about VA Health Connect services are available.
