Giving Back to Veterans and Supporting Their Families

The Veteran Health and Wellness Foundation (VHWF) is a 501c3 non-profit organization established by military veterans with expertise in the area where health, wellness and healthcare delivery intersect with the social determinants of health and military culture. VHWF exists for the express purpose of addressing systemic inequities regarding access to and excellence in care provided by the Department of Defense, Veteran’s Health Administration of Civilian Healthcare Facilities to Veterans and their families.

Who We Serve

Veterans

The Veteran is the heart and soul of our organization. They deserve supportive communities of people who know them, hear them, and see them in ways that hold true to their integrity and identity. Experiences of Veterans are often vastly different than that of their civilian neighbors so their voice needs to be adequately incorporated in health and wellness discussions and ultimately healthcare delivery.

Families

Children, spouses, partners, parents and siblings make sacrifices too. It is not just the Veteran but the family unit that serves. Therefore, the unique needs of that family unity should be acknowledged and their needs addressed as well.

PROFESSIONALS

Healthcare Professionals. Professionals involved in the identification, evaluation, treatment and prevention of diseases and disorders need to understand the unique health concerns of Veterans as patients. Healthcare professionals that are trained and knowledgeable will be able to deliver care leading to quicker, long-lasting recoveries

Community

In order for Veterans and their families to be their best selves, they need receptive culturally competent community in which they can call home. Communities that are welcoming and supportive of Veterans and their families gives them a place where they feel at home. This provides an opportunity for them to live healthy and well lives, undiminished by their service related health concerns.

“Thank you for the training this week. It was informative and inspirational. So much about the plight of Veterans flies under the radar of the general public and it’s imperative we hear first-hand from those who are directly affected.”

Testimonial #6

"I thought that Ms. Janice (Veteran benefits class instructor) was absolutely outstanding! She was very knowledgeable and helpful, and full of information. She was patient. Prior to going in there, my husband and I had not filed for VA benefits at all... She walked us all the way through. It is so comforting."
