Accessing Telehealth through Local Area Stations (ATLAS)

VA continues to find solutions for Veterans to access their VA care for those who live in rural areas. VA partners with local hospitals, Veteran Service Organizations, and sometimes local businesses to offer ATLAS services. These stations provide the convenience of VA Video Connect (VVC) services closer to the Veteran.

Contact your VA care provider to schedule your next virtual appointments at one of the ATLAS sites listed below.

Bridging the Digital Divide

Nearly 5 million Veterans live in rural areas and need access to care in their communities. Whether it’s because of a provider shortage, distance to a hospital, or lack of broadband, it’s not always easy to get care. To bridge this gap, the VA offers a Digital Divide Consult.

During the consult, a social worker will reach out to the Veteran to discuss available programs that can help them gain access to telehealth.

For example, some Veterans may be eligible for a discount on home internet or phone service through two Federal Communications Commission programs:

Some Veterans may qualify for a VA loaned device so Veterans can reach their VA care team virtually.

Ask your VA provider for a Digital Divide Consult to learn more!
