Customer Service
Veteran Experience Program
Our Veteran Experience Program (formerly known as the Patient Advocate program) seeks to personally give you and your family the security of knowing someone is available to focus on your individual concerns and rights as a patient. We work directly with all departments on your behalf and can address your questions, problems or special needs quicker. If you, or a Veteran you care for has not been able to resolve important issues related to VA through other means of communications, please contact one of our highly-skilled patient advocates listed below.

Survey of Healthcare Experience of Patients
After your visit, you may receive a confidential questionnaire in the mail from a third party surveyor asking you about your most recent outpatient or inpatient treatment at our medical center. You may also receive a survey via email for the same purpose.
Please use either survey to let us know of any concerns, complaints, or questions you have about your care, so that we can resolve them. We also appreciate compliments about what we are doing right.
