Volunteers at our hospital play a big role in making sure the Veterans at our medical center have pleasant and easy medical appointments. We have a myraid of volunteer assignments ranging from administrative, customer service, and supporting in clinical services. Medical appointments can be an overwhelming experience and our volunteers play a key role in ensuring our Veterans have a warm and welcoming environment throughout their time with us. We accept individual volunteers, groups, and annually have a Summer Youth Program for local area high school students.

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.
