MANCHESTER Manchester VA Medical Center recently celebrated the opening of a veterans Integrated Health Care addition with a ribbon-cutting.

The new addition offers space to support delivery of integrated health care services to veterans.

It is our mission to honor Americas veterans by providing exceptional health care that improves their health and well-being, said Medical Center Director Tammy Krueger. Manchester VAMC is strengthening its foundation, and adding key building blocks that will continue to enhance veterans experiences at the medical center.

Gov. Maggie Hassan and U.S. Rep. Frank Guinta, R-N.H., attended and shared remarks. The program was opened by Jorg Dreusicke, veteran and 6th District commander, Department of New Hampshire VFW, who led the audience in the Pledge of Allegiance.

The new addition is home to Nurse First (expedited care provided by a registered nurse to resolve minor health concerns), Primary Care and Mental Health.

It offers state-of-the-art technology with a group treatment conference room including secure telehealth video capability allowing veterans to receive care remotely.

The medical center also announced its involvement as a pilot site for a new model of care for veterans that are chronically homeless. Called Homeless Primary Aligned Care, it is staffed by a primary care provider, a registered nurse, a social worker, and a peer support specialist.

The team will case manage veterans from homelessness to when they obtain permanent housing. The model of care is meant to be a bridge or transition team to assist until the veteran obtains stability, which is defined as permanent housing.
