Great Falls VA Clinic
***ADVISORY*** Our main facility phone number (VA Health Connect) is experiencing increased wait times for Veterans utilizing this 24/7 virtual care service. VA Health Connect represents the options available to help you access your health care (for example, rescheduling appointments, prescription needs, or speaking to a nurse) each time you dial your local VA facility number. We apologize for the inconvenience and the delays to answer calls from Veterans, caregivers and family members. We are working to resolve this issue.
