Va reaching out to women veterans on the go at airports in southwest florida | va bay pines health care | veterans affairs

Bay Pines , FL — To reach more women Veterans, their families, and caregivers, the VA has launched a digital ad campaign in major airports across the southeastern U.S., including the Tampa

International Airport and the Southwest Florida International Airport. The campaigns will run through Nov. 30, 2024, and Dec. 31, 2024, respectively.  Using QR code technology, Veterans and

their loved ones can learn more about VA health care services, enrollment processes, and resources specifically designed for women Veterans, which directly connects them to the care and

support they need, regardless of where they are on their journey.  “Bay Pines VA remains committed to transforming the entire health care experience to be more inclusive, responsive, and

specific to the health care concerns and preferences of the women Veterans of today and tomorrow,” said Bay Pines VA Healthcare System Interim Director Kristine Brown. “Throughout our

catchment area, we are proud to provide high-quality care to more than 10,000 women Veterans annually at one of our nine sites of care in southwest Florida.”  Now more than ever, women

Veterans are choosing VA for their health care needs. This patient population shift is reshaping how the VA provides vital care and services to the women who wore the nation’s uniform. Women

Veterans are diverse and span different ages, racial backgrounds, ethnicities, gender identities, and sexual orientations.  At VA, women’s health care teams treat Veterans as individuals

and support their well-being throughout every stage of life. Services include comprehensive primary care, mental health, cancer screenings, general health screenings, immunizations, lung

health, military exposures, reproductive health and pregnancy, and other care specialties. Women Veterans can learn more about care designed to meet their needs by visiting
