Military and Veterans Health Care Program

Serving You as You Served Us™

Caring for Our Military Service Members, Veterans and Their Families

The honorable men and women of the United States Armed Forces and their families have answered our country's call to serve with dedication, courage and sacrifice. Now, let us be here for you.

At Trinity Health, we are proud to give back to those who have given so much for us through our Military and Veterans Health Care Program. The goal of this program is to provide military service members, veterans and families convenient access to high-quality, culturally sensitive, people-centered health care services that meet your specific needs. We are committed to becoming your provider of choice.

Your status as a member of the military community is an important part of understanding your overall health. You deserve to have a health care provider that is informed and engaged in veterans' health, working with you as a partner.

Meeting military service members' and veterans' health care needs is an important part of our overarching mission to safeguard our community's health. Trinity Health has a long and distinguished history of offering compassionate health care to our military service members dating back to the Civil War. Our founding congregations helped staff U.S. military hospitals and the first Navy hospital ship, caring for wounded Union and Confederate soldiers.

Our Military and Veterans Health Program

Through our Military and Veterans Health Program, we are committed to providing respectful and culturally competent health care services in the following ways:

Providers and staff are trained in military and veterans health. Our providers have undergone training to help understand and respond to the health concerns and challenges specific to the military community. The training includes:

• Understanding of military culture, including the nuances of various military service branches
• Key illnesses, injuries, and occupational exposures associated with military service and military deployments
• Effect of military service and deployments on family members
• How to provide competent and compassionate care for current and former female service members

We identify patients who are military service members, veterans or their families. The first step in getting the right care is making sure your health care team knows that you're a service member, veteran or family member. To streamline this process, we've added military-community specific questions to our registration and intake forms and electronic medical records.

We welcome you. From the moment you walk in to one of our facilities, you'll know that you and your family will be taken care of. Your military background is part of who you are. At Trinity Health, it's part of your health care, too.
