Cardiovascular conditions are among the most prevalent and serious health issues facing veterans. Many face elevated cardiac risk due to service-related stress, physical inactivity, PTSD, diabetes, and exposure to toxic substances. As a cardiovascular specialist, your work helps prevent life-threatening events, extend quality of life, and coordinate treatment across multiple disciplines.
Your role in the VA CCN includes:
Support both adult veterans and their children with ASD by providing access to specialized care not always available within VA facilities.
Work alongside psychologists, SLPs, OTs, developmental pediatricians, BCBAs, and VA care coordinators as part of an integrated team.
Receive authorized payment through VA care plans under Community Care and TRICARE policies with established billing procedures.
Offer ABA therapy, speech-language therapy, occupational therapy, and diagnostic evaluations in clinic or home settings based on authorization.
Access VA-sponsored training and continuing education in autism care, neurodevelopmental disabilities, and family-centered service delivery.
Help veteran families navigate one of the most complex healthcare and service systems their children will encounter — with your expertise as the guide.
