Customer Service
Patient Advocates
The Patient Advocate and Veteran Experience Program promotes positive experiences for all our Veterans. A fundamental value in VHA is for all of our Veterans and their families, who are served in or through VHA facilities and clinics, to have their priorities and needs addressed in a proactive, convenient, and timely manner. We work directly with all departments on your behalf. If you have been unable to resolve questions or issues through the Service, please contact one of our highly-skilled patient advocates listed below who will be eager to help you with your concern in a timely manner.
