NEW: Office Hours calls in November and December- Health Care Navigators
The SSVF Program Office will hold a series of live webinars for the Health Care Navigators beginning November 6, 2020 through December 11, 2020. These webinars will supplement the pre-recorded training modules available on the SSVF learning management site (LMS) and the SSVF website. The live webinars will ensure that each Health Care Navigator understands their role and responsibilities in terms of providing services to Veterans. The live and pre-recorded webinars will also ensure that each Health Care Navigator has a basic understanding of community health care resources, VA health care, VA eligibility and enrollment, and other services available to Veterans.
NEW: Happy Veteran's Day- Veteran's Day Discounts
