Returning Service Members (OEF/OIF/OND)
Welcome Home!
On behalf of the employees and volunteers at the Minneapolis VA Health Care System, thank you for the service you have given our country. Now that you are home, you are probably trying to decide what your next steps will be. Whether those steps bring you to school, to work or to settling into a new home, we encourage you to use the VA services along the way.
In just one visit you will be able to see what our doctors, social service providers and caring staff can do for you. It would be our honor to serve you. We hope to see you soon.
It is very important to note that you have five years from your date of discharge to receive free health care for any condition that may be related to combat service. After the five years, access to VA health care services may depend on military history factors, and/or household income. Co-payment status may depend on whether your illness or injury is found to be service-connected.
