VA Whole Health

What is Whole Health?

Whole Health is VA’s approach to care that supports your health and well-being. Whole Health centers around what matters to you, not what is the matter with you. This means your health team will get to know you as a person to develop a personalized health plan based on your values, needs, and goals.

How is Whole Health different?

Whole Health puts you in control of your care. It focuses on self-care, skill building, and support. These services are not diagnosis- or disease-based, but they do support the personal health plan of each Veteran. Approaches such as stress reduction, yoga, tai chi, mindfulness, nutrition, acupuncture, and health coaching are available.
