During the screening, we’ll ask you questions and document your responses in your medical record. Your answers will inform your VA health care team of any possible exposures. We’ll also

connect you to more resources if you have any concerns. CARE WE PROVIDE AT VA MIAMI HEALTH CARE Toxic exposure screenings are available at Miami VA healthcare System. Every Veteran enrolled

in VA health care will receive an initial screening and a follow-up screening at least once every 5 years. Veterans who are not enrolled and who meet eligibility requirements will have an

opportunity to enroll and receive the screening.   The screening will ask you if you think you were exposed to any of these hazards while serving: * Open burn pits and other airborne hazards

* Gulf War-related exposures * Agent Orange * Radiation * Camp Lejeune contaminated water exposure * Other exposures We’ll then give you information about any benefits, registry exams, and

clinical resources you may need. Ask about the screening at your next VA health care appointment. If you don’t have an upcoming appointment, or if you want to get the screening sooner,
