About the Role
This position offers a unique opportunity to serve Veterans within the VA's Patient-Aligned Care Team (PACT) model.

You will initiate and facilitate treatment in emergency situations, coordinate care with community healthcare entities, and utilize Tele-Health tools like VA Video Connect for home visits. The role emphasizes a humanistic approach, ensuring that care plans align with each Veteran's specific goals and diagnoses.
