virtual care and services. The center maximizes first-contact resolution, supporting positive health outcomes in the continuum of care, and providing an improved Veteran experience. The

center functions as a virtual organization, allowing its employees to work anywhere in the VISN 7 service area and provide seamless care and support to Veterans from wherever they call.
