Whole Health Month Events in April

In April, we celebrate Whole Health month. Whole Health is VA’s approach to care that supports health and well-being for Veterans and employees.

The theme is Whole Health “Summer camp”.

When your VA health care team knows what your goals are, it is easier to work together to help you live your best life. What we really want is to be able to live the life we want for as long as possible.

Whole Health is an approach that focuses on what is important to Veterans. It’s about putting Veterans at the center of their care and letting their own mission, aspiration and purpose drive their commitment to health and well-being.
