Caring for our Veterans: A priority for Catholic Medical Center
Across the country there is a significant need to ensure care for our veterans—the men and women who’ve served us through time in the military. Ensuring compassionate, respectful health care for our military members and service veterans is about more than giving them comprehensive benefits—it’s about removing barriers, cutting red tape, providing all the specialty care they might need, and understanding the challenges veterans face.
Catholic Medical Center has been working for some time to figure out how best to provide veterans greater access to care with less hassle. With veteran employees and providers throughout CMC, we understand the sacrifices service members have made and some of the unique needs they have.
In the military, no one goes it alone. Everyone on the team has a role to play to ensure survival and success. At CMC, we believe the same approach applies to veteran health care and we are proud to be leading the effort for New Hampshire veterans.
