The VA Medical Center (VAMC) Reno announces
they are conducting an "enrollment" drive.
Welcome to the Veterans Affairs Sierra Nevada health Care System!
As a veteran, you are eligible to receive the Uniform Benefits
Package, a standard enhanced health benefits plan available to ALL
enrolled veterans. Like other standard health care plans, the Uniform
Benefits Package emphasizes preventive and primary care, offering a full
range of outpatient and inpatient services. ALL veterans,
including minorities, low-income, service connected and non-service
connected are eligible and encouraged to register. Eligible veterans who
register will receive a VA pen, the VA Universal Access Card (a picture
ID) and an initial appointment with a primary care provider.
The VA Sierra Nevada Health Care System provides primary and
secondary care to over 20 counties in northern Nevada and northeastern
California and currently serves more than 120,000 veterans. The VA
Sierra Nevada health Care System provides a broad array of inpatient
care and outpatient services in medicine, alcohol/drug treatment, mental
health, dental care, surgery, neurology, homecare, pharmaceutical needs
and many more services. The VA has placed a priority on improved veteran
satisfaction. Our goal is to ensure the quality of care and service you
receive from us is consistently excellent.
To receive health care under this program, veterans must first be
enrolled. You can apply for enrollment at any VA healthcare facility at
