Cheyenne VA Medical Center

Traveling Veteran Coordinator

These days, Americans frequently travel for extended periods of time, for work, for pleasure, or for any number of other reasons. VA commits to all enrolled Veterans who receive their health care from the department that they will receive the same consistent level of care, either at their local VA health care facility or at an alternate VA facility.

VA’s Traveling Veteran program ensures traveling Veterans have uninterrupted access to care wherever they are.

How to get Care:

Veterans who know they will be traveling are asked to tell their health care provider where and when they will be going, and any specific care concerns they may have. The provider then collaborates with the facility’s Traveling Veteran Program Coordinator (TVC) to ensure any pending clinical orders, such as blood work, are performed at a location near the Veteran’s travel destination.
