Description

Historically, the vast majority of Vet. Admin. (VA) patients have been men, but that is changing. VA provided health care to over 281,000 women veterans (WV) in 2008 -- an increase of about 12% since 2006. WV seeking care at VA medical facilities need access to a full range of health care services, incl. basic and specialized gender-specific services -- such as cervical cancer screening and treatment of reproductive cancers. This testimony discusses: (1) the on-site availability of health care services for WV at VA facilities; (2) the extent to which VA facilities are following VA policies that apply to the delivery of health care services for WV; and (3) some key challenges that VA facilities are experiencing in providing health care services for WV.
