This month, we’re joined by Dr. Jillian Weber, National Homeless Patient Aligned Care Team (HPACT) Program Manager, and Dr. Aayshah Muneerah from the VA Oklahoma City Healthcare System to learn more about VA’s new mobile medical units (MMU) for Veterans.  

Our guests talk about what HPACT does, what MMUs are, and how both help bring medical care services directly to homeless Veterans living out on the street.

Veterans who are homeless or at imminent risk of homelessness are strongly encouraged to contact the National Call Center for Homeless Veterans at (877) 4AID-VET (877-424-3838) for assistance.
