Volunteer drivers play a big part in ensuring that Veterans are able to get to their medical appointments. Our volunteers utilize donated vans to transport patients from the home to their medical appointments at the nearest VA clinic (Hammond, Bogalusa, Houma, or Franklin). All cost associated with the use of the van such as fuel and maintenance is provided by SLVHCS.

Description
Southeast Louisiana Veterans Health Care System (SLVHCS) provides quality, compassionate, safe health care to Veteran patients throughout 23 parishes in southeast Louisiana. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the New Orleans VAMC was devastated. SLVHCS reorganized to meet the needs of Veterans and now consists of eight community-based clinics located in New Orleans, Slidell, Hammond, St. John Parish, Houma, Franklin, Bogalusa and Baton Rouge. Ninety percent of patients live within 30 minutes of primary and mental health services. Specialty care is available through the New Orleans and Baton Rouge clinics and inpatient services are coordinated through community facilities and other Veterans Affairs Medical Centers. Programs are available for special needs populations including those with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and spinal cord injury.
