ATLAS (Accessing Telehealth through Local Area Stations) is a new opportunity U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs provides for Veterans to receive care closer to home. ATLAS serves as a solution for challenges such as long travel times to VA medical facilities and limited internet connectivity at home.
As part of ATLAS, San Francisco VA Health Care System in partnership with County of Mendocino Department of Social Services is now offering video appointments at the Fort Bragg Veterans Memorial Building (360 North Harrison Street, Fort Bragg, CA 95437). Veterans can currently receive the following clinical services at this location:
- Primary care
- Mental health
At the Fort Bragg ATLAS Site, Veterans will have a private, comfortable appointment room to meet with VA providers.
All ATLAS appointments are conducted through VA Video Connect, VA’s secure videoconferencing software that enables Veterans to meet with their providers virtually. There is no copay for VA Video Connect appointments.
To schedule a video appointment at the Fort Bragg ATLAS Site, please contact:
- Primary Care: 707-468-7700 then press zero
Mental Health: 707-522-6530
For all others: 415-379-5661
If the clinical service you are seeking is not currently offered at this ATLAS site, please speak to your local VA or PACTeam about adding it.

 Limit Alcohol
If you choose to drink alcohol, drink in moderation. Drinking too much can harm your health. If you are concerned about your drinking, talk to your VA health care team about getting help.
What's important to know?
If you choose to drink alcohol, drink in moderation. This helps reduce your risk for alcohol-related health problems.
Here are the recommended drink limits:
- Female: No more than 1 drink in a single day and no more than 7 drinks per week
- Male: No more than 2 drinks in a single day and no more than 14 drinks per week
- All adults age 65 and older: No more than 1 drink a day and no more than 7 drinks per week
- Pregnant people or those who might be pregnant: Do not drink any alcohol
Do not binge drink. Binge drinking means drinking:
- 4 or more drinks on one occasion for females and all adults age 65 and older
- 5 or more drinks on one occasion for males
Want to know more?
Talk with your VA health care team if you have questions about limiting alcohol or are concerned about your drinking. They can help you reduce risky drinking. Alcohol dependence can be treated.
Resources
 Just like balanced meals, balanced snacks help keep your energy steady and keep you feeling satisfied between meals. A balanced snack pairs a carbohydrate (for quick energy) with either a fat or a protein (to help you stay fuller longer and prevent energy crashes).
Try these no‑bake mini cheesecakes for a festive summer dessert. Mix graham crumbs, butter, and cinnamon for the crust, then whip Greek yogurt, cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla for the filling. Chill for at least an hour and top with berries (optional).
Ingredients
¼ cup finely ground graham cracker crumbs (about 1 full graham cracker sheet)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¾ cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
4 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese (Neufchatel), softened at room temperature
2½ tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup fresh berries (optional)
