Before You Visit
_______________________________
Before receiving services with Veterans Affairs, you must first determine your eligibility. Use our eligibility page to make an application for health care benefits.
Eligible veterans should contact the VA Medical Center to schedule an appointment with a primary care provider. Getting an appointment can be done in a number of ways.
If you have an existing appointment and cannot keep it, let us help you change it. This way, we will be able to see another veteran during that time period. Let us help you reschedule or cancel your appointment.
The Minneapolis VA has limited lodging available for patients who live outside the Twin City Metro area and need a place to stay for one night or more. Also, several area hotels offer VA rates to patients and their family members.
During Your Stay or Care _______________________________
There may come a time when you are unable to decide or tell us what you want. You have the opportunity now to make some decisions ahead of time. Tell us in writing about the kind of care you want if you cannot speak for yourself.
We want to assist you in learning more about your condition, how to live a healthy lifestyle, and ways to self-manage your own health. A number of educational resources are available to you at no cost.
A number of programs have been established at this Medical Center to assist you in the event you have a concern or complaint. Let us help you resolve your issue.
The Release of Information Office processes requests for medical records and assists providers with completing forms for patients. Let our staff help you get the information you need.
