Community Based Care for Veterans
The Veterans Administration (VA) Community Care Network (CCN) is an integral part of the healthcare system for U.S. Veterans, offering an expanded network of care beyond the traditional VA healthcare facilities.
The VA Community Care Network is a vital resource for U.S. Veterans, offering access to a wide range of healthcare services outside of VA facilities. By understanding how to navigate the CCN, Veterans can ensure they receive the comprehensive, timely care they deserve. Veterans are encouraged to explore their eligibility for community care and to utilize the network to support their health and well-being.
