In Case You Missed It: June Veteran Directed Care (VDC) Office Hours

Thank you to those who attended the June VDC Office Hours held on Wednesday, June 10. The Administration for Community Living and Veterans Health Administration addressed frequently asked questions and questions previously submitted by VDC providers via the VDC Office Hours Questionnaire and held an open Q&A for attendees to ask questions live. A recording of the Office Hours is available here.

New Resource: VDC Program Outcomes and Impact

The VDC Technical Assistance Team has developed a new infographic highlighting the outcomes and impact of the VDC program. The infographic includes an at-a-glance view of the program's reach, the impact on quality-of-life outcomes, and how the Senator Elizabeth Dole 21st Century Veterans Healthcare and Benefits Improvement Act has contributed to the growth and expansion of the VDC program. The infographic is attached to this email.
