VA Medical Center (Heroes to Hometowns VAVS Volunteer Coordinator Pilot Program)

The American Legion Family and Voluntary Services are working together to support the VA's new transition patient advocates (TPAs).  TPAs help returning service members access the VA.  The Heroes to Hometowns Volunteer Coordinator helps these TPAs access community resources for returning service members.  Volunteer coordinators will foster community support, offering each VA hospital a complete transition package that goes beyond medical treatment.  Regardless whether or not your community has a VA Medical Center, it is our job to identify families within our communities that have been affected by the Global War on Terrorism and numerous other conflicts throughout the years.
