Dear Veteran,
I want to bring to your attention programs serving the veterans of Operations Enduring Freedom, Iraqi Freedom and New Dawn (“OEF/OIF/OND”) at the Miami VA Healthcare System. The OEF/OIF/OND direct care management team is specifically assigned to OEF/OIF/OND combat Veterans.
The OEF/OIF/OND direct care management team works closely with other health care professionals within the VA Medical Center and their outpatient clinics to address the medical, physical, psychological and social issues that are unique to Iraq, Afghanistan and GWOT Veteran populations. The OEF/OIF/OND direct care management team works with several different Veterans Service Organizations that are eager to assist newly returning Veterans.
If you have any questions concerning your health care benefits or other Veteran's benefits that you may be entitled to; or any other issues you would like to talk about please contact the OEF/OIF/OND Program Manager, Annette Portales at 305-575-7000 ext. 6252.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my website, and if you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact my district office at (305) 690-5905 or my Washington D.C. office at (202) 225-4506.
Sincerely yours
Congresswoman Frederica S. Wilson
