ANNOUNCEMENT

Network of Care 180X48The Network of Care for Veterans, Service Members & Their Families

Because of the huge increase in military behavioral health-related issues, a special new version of the Network of Care was developed. Military and veteran health systems tend to be fragmented; many veterans simply do not know what federal, state, county or community services are available to them. The Network of Care, a one-stop shop, makes it easy for service members, veterans and their families to find most of these services. The program, first deployed in Maryland and California, was very successful and it is now spreading to new localities throughout the country. The site, which is easy to use, continuously updated and free to the public, includes many services, such as healthcare facilities, daily news, jobs boards, social networking, benefits, personal health records, support, assistive devices, advocacy, emergency and crisis intervention. Learn more....
