New Medical Foster Home (MFH) Program 
The OBVAMC HBPC program is launching a Medical Foster Home Program (MFH).  The Medical Foster Home (MFH) is a unique partnership of adult foster home and Home Based Primary Care (HBPC), serving those veterans that are in need of greater care.  The veteran can choose to live in a home-like environment while they continue to receive their primary healthcare through the VA.  In the past, many veterans living alone with no family support would have to be placed into a nursing home.  MFH offers a safe, favorable, and less costly alternative.
