The visit is an annual event inpatient Veterans look forward to all year and is part of the Vikings Salute to Service Program.

The “VA: Health and Benefits” app, in the App Store, is not the same as “MyHealtheVet!” The “VA: Health and Benefits” app keeps you logged in. You can view appointments, reorder VA prescriptions, view your VA medical records and secure message your VA providers.
By visiting “My HealtheVet” on the va.gov website, you can do all of that AND schedule appointments! To add “My HealtheVet” to your phone, you have to download it directly from the va.gov website. Each time you use it, you will have to log-in with your ID.Me or Login.gov.
Learn more MyHealtheVet tips at the Virtual Health Resource Center in the flag atrium of the medical center.
