Dear Veteran,

We know that Monday mornings can be busy, and we want to make sure you get the care you need without waiting on hold. If you have a non-emergency health concern, there is a faster way to connect with us: The VA Health Chat App.

Why use VA Health Chat? When your health concern can’t wait, chat directly with VA Health Connect for:

• Nurse Triage: Discuss symptoms with a nurse to determine next steps, including virtual appointments or tele-emergency care.
• Appointment Management: Make, change, cancel, or verify your primary care appointments.
• Prescription Help: Get support with your pharmacy needs.

Other Options:

• Use your mobile device to send Secure Messages to your health care teams (along with managing VA benefits and other health care information)using the VA: Health and Benefits App available in the Apple App Store, Google Play, and in the VA App Store.
• You can also send Secure Messages to communicate privately with your health care team using MyHealtheVet available at the VA.gov website.

⚠️ Important Safety Information

If you are experiencing a life-threatening medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room immediately. VA Health Connect and tele-emergency services do not replace traditional emergency room care.
