On 4-23-24, Our Veteran Navigator, Michele Pascoe, also the chair for the health care committee pillar for VCAT 8, met with 60 of our community partners regarding veteran services. They had presentations on VA residential programs, VA Community Care-what it is, what to expect, how you can help veterans navigate, and how the Patient Advocates can assist the veterans.
VCAT 8 is A Veteran Community Action Team (VCAT) or VC (Veteran Coalition) that works to develop a network of service providers and community members dedicated to ensuring veterans and their families are served efficiently. Region 8 consists of Calhoun, Cass, Berrien, Branch, Kalamazoo, St. Joseph, and Van Buren. The VCAT focuses on four main pillars of service: employment, education, health care, and quality of life.
