Virtual Health Resource Center (VHRC)
Fargo VA’s Virtual Health Resource Center (VHRC) offers support to Veterans, their family members and caregivers, and VA staff looking to take advantage of virtual care tools. Our VHRC has local health technology experts to provide guidance, hands-on support, training, help troubleshooting, and other information regarding virtual care tools, such as VA Video Connect, My HealtheVet, health apps, and devices.
Veterans can speak with an expert to determine which virtual care options might be right for their health and lifestyle needs. The experts are also available to help Veterans get started with VA apps or set up VA-loaned devices.
The VHRC is in room 1C-86 of the Fargo VA Medical Center and open Monday – Friday (except federal holidays) 8:00 am – 4:00 pm for phone, video, and in-person consultations. No appointments are necessary.

Annie
VA Fargo Uses the "annie" App
Annie sends automated text messages to Veterans to help them stay focused on their self-care. This might include health related notifications, reminders, or motivational messages. It can also prompt patients to text back with their self-recorded health readings. The information is stored in the Annie system where clinicians can view as needed.
Annie works on any device that can send and receive text messages. There are many types of Annie message subscriptions that are nationally approved for use anytime with patients. For more information on Annie, visit Annie for Veterans | VA Mobile.
VA Mobile Apps
VA Mobile Apps aim to improve Veterans’ health by providing technologies that expand clinical care beyond the traditional office visit.
VA Mobile apps give both Veterans and VA care teams safe and secure mobile access to important health data — providing more opportunities for Veterans to be active participants in their health care. VA Mobile Apps also features health care and wellness apps for caregivers and civilians.
VA Mobile is transforming the way VA care is delivered and improving coordination between Veterans and their care teams. VA Mobile Apps are critical in connecting Veterans to care and VA are dedicated to providing that connection through innovative apps that enhance Veterans’ care experiences.
VA Health Chat is a featured app that allows Veterans to reach out directly to the VA in a secure and efficient manner.
