VACIHCS is on a mission to improve access to care for our nation’s Veterans. Central to this vision is the commitment to enhanced access and a consistent set of expectations regarding what a Veteran deserves when s/he enters VACIHCS. These expectations are summarized in the MyVA Access Declaration and include:

  • Timely care including same day services in Primary Care, as needed, and
  • Timely mental health care, including same day services, as needed.
