Women Veteran Care

VA Long Beach health care supports the health, welfare, and dignity of female Veterans by ensuring equal access to timely, sensitive, and quality care.

Veterans should get started by enrolling for healthcare: apply online or in person at the eligibility office (first floor of the Tower at the Long Beach VAMC). Once registered, reach out to the primary care call center at 15151 to request a new patient appointment with a women's health trained primary care provider at a Long Beach location convenient for you. Your primary care team is the key to pulling your VA healthcare together.

We encourage our NEW female veterans to reach out to our Women’s Health Coordinator for an introduction and review of how to navigate VA healthcare services.

You are busy every day with work, caregiving, studying and being amazing.
