Overton Brooks VA Medical Center | Shreveport LA |
Disabled American Veterans (DAV) Transportation Network |
Because
so many sick and disabled veterans lack
transportation to and from VA medical facilities
for needed treatment, the DAV operates
a nationwide Transportation Network to
meet this need.
The network is administered by DAV Hospital
Service
Coordinators (HSCs) at the VA's
172 medical centers. The DAV has also donated
vans, where needed, to make the program
work. All DAV van drivers are volunteers
and do not receive payment for the services
they provide.
To use DAV transportation you must:
- Have a scheduled appointment.
- Call the DAV office at 1-800-644-8370
ext. 7025, or 318-221-8411 ext. 7025
to schedule transportation.
- Be able to get on and off the van
without assistance.
Please call as soon as you know that
you have an appointment scheduled,
as space on the van is limited.
If you
have scheduled an appointment and must
cancel it, please notify the DAV office
as soon as possible, so others needing
transportation may be scheduled.
The DAV vans
leave from:
- Monroe - West Monroe Police Office
at 6:15 AM
- Texarkana – Miller County
Jail Complex at 6:15 AM
- Zwolle – Police Station at
6:15 AM
Local DAV transportation is also available
in the Shreveport/Bossier area.
Please
call the number above for details.
All DAV transportation vans are smoke
and tobacco free! No alcohol or drugs
are allowed. No one who is intoxicated
will be permitted to ride on the DAV vans.
