The Department of Veterans Affairs on Oct. 1 will open three rural health resource centers, which will identify disparities in health care for rural veterans and formulate practices or programs to enhance care delivery. Located at the White River Junction (VT) VA Medical Center, Iowa City (IA) VA Medical Center and Salt Lake City (UT) VA Medical Center, the centers will serve as satellite offices for VA’s Office of Rural Health. “These centers will allow us to better identify and meet the unique needs of our rural veterans as their population continues to grow,” said Michael Kussman, VA under secretary for health.
