The Veterans Healing Farm Establishes a Telehealth Outpost for the Western North Carolina VA Health Care System

The Veterans Healing Farm is pleased to announce that it has been selected to be a VA Health Care Telehealth Outpost. This initiative to enhance the well-being of local veterans is in partnership between the Western North Carolina VA Health Care System and the Veterans Healing Farm. This collaboration aims to significantly improve veterans' access to VA virtual care services in the region.

The newly established telehealth station features a private appointment room with reliable internet access and technology to facilitate seamless connections between veterans and their VA providers. This station makes it easier for veterans to receive the care they need without any barriers by minimizing travel time and alleviating internet connectivity issues.
