We are excited to share a few photos from last Thursday’s ribbon cutting for the new Accessing Telehealth through Local Area Stations (ATLAS) program at the Fort Bragg Veterans Memorial Building!

In partnership with the San Francisco VA Health Care System, this new resource will help bring access to primary care, specialty care, and behavioral health services closer to home for our Veterans. For our coastal communities, ATLAS will help overcome many of the barriers created by distance and limited access to healthcare resources.

A heartfelt thank you to the dedicated staff and partners who helped make this program a reality, to everyone who attended and shared their support and words at Thursday’s event, and most importantly, to our Veterans who will benefit from this important new resource.

We are proud to help expand access to care for Veterans in our coastal communities!
An additional thank you to Jim D'Ville of KOZT for the amazing snapshot of the ribbon cutting.
