At your next visit we will be asking about your demographics! Why?
Accurate and up-to-date information in our records is essential to providing the best possible care and services to Veterans. Demographic data—including address, phone number, emergency contacts, race, ethnicity, preferred language, and more—helps ensure that:
1. Veterans receive timely appointment reminders, letters, and important health information
2. We can quickly reach Veterans or their designated caregivers in urgent situations
3. Our services and resources reflect the communities we serve
4. VA programs and outreach are tailored to meet the diverse needs of Veterans
5. Research and reporting accurately represent all Veterans and drive improvements in care
