VA has expanded its pilot program to connect Veterans in rural areas with information about VA telehealth and mental health resources.
In partnership with several state departments of transportation, VA posted resources at rest areas across the states to provide traveling Veterans easily accessible information about telehealth options, the closest VA location and the Veterans Crisis Line.
VA initiated the pilot in Montana due to the state’s size and rurality while working closely with the Montana Department of Transportation to provide the information at 47 rest areas across the state.
VA continued the program in Wyoming, Kansas, Louisiana and Nevada. To date, VA has deployed resources to 157 rest areas and 89 welcome centers across Kansas, Louisiana, Montana, Nevada and Wyoming, covering more than 52,000 miles of state and interstate highways.
