If you have symptoms of fever, cough and shortness of breath, call your VA medical center before going to a clinic, urgent care, or emergency room. Ask your VA health care team about the option of a telehealth appointment instead of an in-person visit.
The Office of Patient Care Services (PCS) in Veterans Health Administration is dedicated to ensuring the full continuum of health care, which comprises health promotion, disease prevention, diagnostics, therapeutic and rehabilitative care, recovery and palliative care. PCS provides care through policy and program development that promotes dignity and respect, and is achieved by utilizing innovative approaches and technologies through interdisciplinary collaboration both within and outside of VHA.
The PCS Vision is to be an invaluable resource to the Department of Veterans Affairs. We are dedicated to applying the principles behind I CARE – Integrity, Commitment, Advocacy, Respect and Excellence – to each and every program we have and service we provide. Our Program service areas are fully committed to providing patient centered care that is personal and proactive. We are leaders in the development of a team approach to health care for Veterans and our PCS staff works in collaboration with other key program offices throughout VHA on an ongoing basis.
