VA would improve mobile medical care for veterans in rural areas.
This bill would require the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to better organize and assess its mobile medical units. The goal is to improve how these units deliver healthcare to veterans and other eligible individuals, especially those living in rural or underserved communities. It would also make the VA study sending these units to rural areas at least once a year.
Today, no specific office or person is officially in charge of the VA's Mobile Medical Unit Program. Also, there are no mandated nationwide assessments of these units. This bill would change that. It would require the VA to designate a program owner and conduct a full inventory and capability assessment of all its mobile medical units. It would also require the VA to study the possibility of sending these units to rural areas at least once a year.
