Coordinating women's preventive health care for rural veterans
PURPOSE: As the number of women veterans receiving care from the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) continues to increase, so does the need to access gender-specific preventive health care services through the VHA.

As the numbers of veterans utilizing both VHA and non-VHA providers for their preventive c…
