What is a Veteran Health Plan?

A Veteran Health Plan is designed for veterans with GOLD and White Cards with Accepted Conditions who are struggling to manage a chronic health condition. 

“What is a chronic disease?” A chronic condition is a health condition or disease that is persistent or otherwise long-lasting in its effects or a disease that comes with time. The term chronic is often applied when the course of the disease lasts for more than three months.

It can be any number of conditions like:

  • Diabetes (type 1 or 2)
  • High blood pressure
  • Mental illness
  • High cholesterol
  • Chronic Pain
  • Heart Disease or COPD

Plus many more…

Chronic diseases impact veterans’ daily lives and when these are managed poorly it can lead to an increase in the risk of serious complications and potential for hospitalisation. 

A Veteran Health Plan puts the veteran at the centre of their healthcare team!

When a Veteran starts on a veteran health plan, they have an initial consultation with a nurse, where they gather all the necessary information to help compile a thorough report and create a detailed health plan. The nurse works with a Veteran Health Doctor, who also liaises with the veteran’s local care team to create a network of health practitioners who are all communicating and working towards the betterment of the veteran.

Having a team means:

  • Access to a central health care team who provides ongoing care,
  • Continuity of care for each veteran, no more having to repeat conditions over and over to multiple practitioners,
  • Information about treatments and programs that other practitioners may be unaware of,
  • Eases the burden on family and friends to assist with the management of conditions,
  • Greater control of a veteran's health overall.

Veteran Health Plans help support healthier happier veterans!
