Speak with a Provider Anywhere

Ask your healthcare team about VA Video Connect (VVC)!

Veterans now have access to meet with their VA Long Beach health care provider from anywhere.

Veterans can take the extra step to ensure the safety of not only themselves but their families. By booking their next appointment utilizing VA Video Connect (VVC), Veterans reduce the amount of travel.

VVC utilizes encrypted video connection to ensure safety and privacy of information. The connection can be accessed through mobile phone, tablet or laptop.

At VA Long Beach, Veterans health and safety remain a top priority. VCC allows each patient to remain safe from the spread and contraction of COVID-19 by reducing the amount of patient flow in and around the hospital.
