What are veteran services?

Veteran services offer support to former members of the armed forces. The KAVN Health team is dedicated to delivering comprehensive healthcare focused on meeting veterans’ unique needs.

Many veterans have to navigate various challenges associated with mental and physical disabilities resulting from their time in service. The KAVN Health team designed the Veteran Disability Services program to ensure veterans benefit from the ongoing support and care they deserve.

What problems affect veterans?

Veterans face multiple challenges after they rejoin civilian life. Some of these problems are practical, like registering with a doctor, dentist, and other services previously provided by the military. Veterans may also struggle to navigate the paperwork involved in obtaining benefits and services from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Other challenges are physical and mental. Veterans may have severe injuries, such as lost limbs, blindness, and paralysis. Mental health conditions that often affect veterans include post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and anxiety.

These problems are often made worse by the change from military to civilian life. Veterans can have difficulty relating to people who don’t understand the events military personnel experience and struggle to reconnect with family and friends. Even the roles and activities civilians find routine, like job applications, can feel alien to veterans.

KAVN Health’s veteran services aim to support you with these and other challenges.
