Partnerships

Our goal is to create a community of practice that improves Veteran access to community resources and care through a coordinated support system where services are delivered effectively and with positive emotion.

The Veterans Experience Office (VEO) coordinates across VA to meet Veteran health and benefits needs by establishing community-level, public and private partnerships that bridge gaps in services, foster knowledge exchange, and conduct outreach with underserved communities.
