The number of women veterans getting health care through the Veterans Health Administration has tripled in the last two decades, with more than half a million women receiving care through the agency today.
“We need to reach a point at which women’s healthcare is not an afterthought but an intrinsic well-planned part of the basic health care delivery system,” said Rep. Debbie Wasserman Shultz , during a House hearing this week. “Part of the thing we’ve had to overcome is the message that people have had for a long time of the idea that everyone who is in the VA as a patient is male,” said Dr. Patricia Hayes,The VA said it is actively working to recruit new medical workers and increase training for current staff.
Retired U.S. Navy Captain Lory Manning, who serves as the Director of Government Operations for the Service Women’s Action Network, said the VA has come a long way in improving its care for women.
