Excerpt: “Providing high-quality healthcare to women Veterans is one of VA’s top priorities. Women are a growing and important population of Veterans. Their socio-demographics, needs, and experiences differ from male Veterans. For example, women Veterans are younger, more diverse in race/ethnicity, more often have a service-connected disability, have more outpatient visits, and suffer from greater mental health burdens and higher rates of sexual harassment, abuse, and assault. Women Veterans should have equitable access to VA healthcare, and they should feel safe and welcome whenever they seek assistance and care. VA has embarked on many efforts to help achieve this.”
