Health Care for Reentry Veterans Specialists

The VA medical system is organized into 21 geographic networks known as Veterans Integrated Service Networks, or VISNs.  VHA has allocated Health Care for Reentry Veterans Specialists to each VISN who are the VA regional points of contact and also provide outreach and assessment services to incarcerated Veterans.  Each state also has a Specialist who is the state point of contact, listed below.

Contact information for the Specialists is below.  If you need to know which VISN you are in, please see the VISN map at the bottom of the page.
