Merril Lundman Department of Veterans Affairs Outpatient 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.

Pre-screening is not required for Montana VA staff, contractors, patients, volunteers, and visitors.
Mask Wear is Optional, except in “High Risk” areas:
By direction of the VHA, anyone entering a VHA facility has the option to wear a mask indoors as long as they are not in a “High Risk” area or symptomatic.
High risk areas include:

The Montana VA also requires any person with a suspected or confirmed COVID-19 infection or other viral respiratory infection to wear a mask.
Mask Courtesy:
At Montana VA, we all share in the responsibility of keeping Veterans, staff, and visitors safe. If a patient or visitor asks for a Montana VA staff to wear a mask in a clinical setting, all employees are required to wear a mask.
