SRES 492 United States Senate · 119th Congress

A resolution recognizing community care as an essential tool for meeting the health care needs of the veterans of the United States.

This Senate resolution recognizes community care - treatment outside VA facilities - as essential for meeting veterans' health needs. It affirms that community care complements, rather than replaces, VA health services, as established by the 2018 VA MISSION Act. The resolution urges the VA to fully implement the MISSION Act to ensure veterans receive timely care through community providers when VA facilities cannot meet their needs. It does not create new programs or funding but formally supports existing community care access as a key part of veteran healthcare.
