For your health, all Veterans, no matter when or where you served, should have a toxic exposure screening by a VA provider. A screening identifies and documents potential exposures and allows for ongoing care and treatment. It will prepare you to make the best choices for your future, including any VBA benefits. We strongly encourage you to have a screening if you were exposed to specific toxins and hazards to include burn pits, sand and dust, particulates, oil well or sulfur fires, chemicals, radiation, warfare agents, depleted uranium, herbicides, and other occupational hazards.
To make an appointment for a toxic exposure screening, call
24/7 Health Connect at 855-679-0250
or use the chat app.
