Smart Policy Works

Most women veterans get their primary care in the community, not from the VA. We're on the case to help make sure their care is all that they need and deserve. #SheServed 2020: Achieving Women Veteran-Informed Care. Sept 16-17 smartpolicyworks.com/2020/08/17/she…

In war, in natural disasters and, yes, in health care crises, women who serve are at special risk. If you're a female vet or service member, take our survey to help ensure that women veterans get appropriate care: bit.ly/WVetHealthSurv (& pls share the link with others)

In times of health crisis, our work continues. Are women veterans getting the care they need? If you are woman who's served, take our survey: bit.ly/WVetHealthSurv - and feel free to pass it on!

Our heartfelt wish and goal.

Whether you observe Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, or New Years - or something else, or nothing else - we celebrate with you and wish you health and well-being, and good things in the year ahead.
