VHWF

The Veteran is the heart and soul of our organization. They deserve supportive communities of people who know them, hear them, and see them in ways that hold true to their integrity and identity. Experiences of Veterans are often vastly different than that of their civilian neighbors, so their voice needs to be adequately incorporated in health and wellness discussions, and ultimately, service development and delivery.

The Veteran Health and Wellness Foundation (VHWF) is a non-profit 501c3 charitable entity established by military Veterans with expertise in the area where health, wellness and healthcare delivery intersects with the social determinants of health and military culture. VHWF exists for the express purpose of addressing systemic inequities regarding access to and excellence in care provided by the Department of Defense, Veteran’s Health Administration of Civilian Healthcare Facilities to Veterans and their families.  

To build, educate, and maintain resource networks to support the complex physical, social, and emotional needs of Veteran communities across the nation.

VHWF envisions communities that possess the knowledge and capacity to not only identify and address service-related health challenges, but to embrace, support, and empower Veterans and their families who experience them.
