We'll talk about the C.A.R.E. service model, which integrates family caregivers into their Veteran’s healthcare teams from day one of the care journey.

We value our caregivers and recognize that they have a great responsibility to take care of our Veterans, and serve as members of their community. Our goals are to provide training in inclusive care and how caregivers plan a vital role in Veteran's lives. We aim to increase collaboration and communication among and between community organizations and the VA, and to share ideas and borrow effective practices from each other.
