View the Radiation Dose Exhibits - Register to Provide RO Services to Veterans
Recently, Congress passed the Veterans Access, Choice and Accountability Act (VACAA) to establish the Veterans Choice Program (VCP) to better meet the health care needs of our nation’s veterans. The law directs the establishment of a Veterans Choice Card benefit that provides a commitment to veterans to receive healthcare in their communities if they live more than 40 miles away from a Veterans Health Administration (VHA) medical care facility. Click here if you are interested in providing radiation oncology services to Veterans under VACAA.
