Saint Agnes Medical Center is proud to offer its Military and Veterans Health Program (MilVet) to our community’s honorable veterans who have served or are currently serving in the United States Armed Forces. The goal of this program is to provide convenient access to high-quality, culturally sensitive health care services that meets the specific needs of military service members, veterans and their families.
The first step in getting the right care is making sure your health care team knows that you are a service member, veteran or family member. To streamline this process, we’ve added military-community specific questions to our registration and intake forms and electronic medical records. In order for your care team to know about your veteran status, our registration staff will offer you an American flag wristband to wear during your visit.
Please also be aware that Saint Agnes accepts TRICARE.
