Why Aren’t Veterans Getting the Care They Need?

We’ve learned so much from the thousands of local veterans, service members, and military families we have served. Our clients experience all kinds of barriers when looking for the health services they need.

Here are the top reasons why veterans and military families have turned to RVP:

1. “I would never have been able to afford the kind of health care I got through RVP. Having the financial roadblock removed by RVP allowed me to get support for as long as I needed.”
2. “I wanted a provider who understood military service and trauma.”
3. “I wanted a care plan that didn’t require medication.”
4. “My psychologist in the military recommended a therapist in Portland for when I got home, but she wasn’t taking any more clients. She referred me to RVP.”
5. “I couldn’t get to appointments.”
6. “I didn’t want to have to explain military culture to my health provider.”
7. “It was difficult to navigate our complex healthcare system.”
