By Richard A. Stone, M.D.: Telehealth Video Technology Is Helping the VA Reach More Vets
This flexibility is especially important in supporting rural communities with specialist medical services.

It is our goal to have all VA primary care and mental health clinicians telehealth-capable by the end of fiscal 2020.

Many veterans in rural areas do not have reliable access to broadband Internet. The VA is committed to bridging that digital divide by seeking partnerships with the private sector to help us reach these communities.
