PURPOSE FOR THIS BLOG IS TO INFORM FELLOW VETERANS

VHA 
says on web site 
(va.gov) 


"We want to provide you with 

world-class 

veteran customer service  


and this is just one 
important way 
in which we do that!" 

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) ants to make sure you get the best care possible.

You would think...considering you placed your life on the line to serve and protect - should equate to high standards upon receipt of services rendered. 

VA is a leader in treating mental health issues, including PTSD, and employs a number of different types of mental health providers. 

Becoming a PTSD therapist within the VA first requires training and license as a psychiatrist, psychiatric nurse, psychologist, clinical social worker, or master's level clinician as described above. 

ALL WORDS! You know, 'lip service'......





As they say, 'history has a way of repeating itself'

AGAIN, VA is NOT stepping up to the plate across our Country  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!PATHETIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"best care possible"  
   If NOT satisfied with the services received 
at VA Medical Centers 
contact a Patient Advocate immediately!


As of today, 9 FEB 2016, I have reached the Patient Advocate at the Memphis VA Medical Center. This took more than two wllokrk for over two weeks, leaving multiple vm, more than one number for the person to call me back and I've received NO call back!

The Patient Advocacy Program is for all who receive 
care at Veterans Health Administration (VHA) 
facilities and clinics. 


(Good luck with this effort!)
