Channel: Disabled American Veterans
Date: 2023-01-20

A new VA policy that took effect earlier this week allows veterans in acute suicidal crisis to go to any VA or non-VA health care facility for emergency health care at no cost. This is a major victory for veterans in line with DAV’s 2023 Critical Policy Goal of bolstering mental health resources to ensure continued progress in reducing veteran suicide. Today we’re joined by DAV Assistant National Legislative Director Jon Retzer to discuss the details.
