Military and Veteran's Health Care

You deserve a health care provider who is informed and engaged in learning all about you, the whole person, and working with you as a partner. As a member of the military community, your unique experiences, exposures and work environments are an important part of understanding your overall health and planning your care.

At MercyOne, we are proud to give back to you, who have given so much for us. Through Military and Veterans Health Care at MercyOne, our goal is to provide convenient access to high-quality care that meets the specific needs of military service members, veterans and their family members.

Military and Veterans Health Care

Through Military and Veterans Health Care at MercyOne, we are committed to providing respectful and culturally competent health care services. Our health care teams are trained in military and veterans’ health to help understand and respond to the health concerns and challenges specific to the military community.

The awareness training covers:

• Understanding of military culture, including the nuances of various military services branches.
• Key illnesses and injuries associated with military service and military deployments.
• Effect of military service and deployments on family members.

We identify patients who are military services members, veterans or family members. The first step in getting the right care is making sure your health care team knows that you are a service member, veteran or family member. To streamline this process, we've added military community-specific questions to our registration and intake forms and electronic medical records.

We welcome you, and we want you to know that you and your family will be taken care of. Your military background is part of who you are. At MercyOne, it's part of your health care, too.
