The DAV Transportation Network
Travel benefit cuts left many vets with no way to
get to Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) medical
facilities for needed treatment. They're men and women
who answered our country's call in times of war. Many
lost limbs, sight, hearing, or good health. They may
live a great distance from a VA hospital. And so many
exist on small fixed incomes, finding the cost of
transportation to a VA hospital is just too high.
They're left with two choices. They could go without the
treatment they need, or skimp on food or other
necessities to pay for transportation.
Vet's disabled in our nation's service should never
face such dire options. So DAV and Auxiliary volunteers
responded, driving vets to and from VA hospitals and
clinics. Other grateful Americans are helping too. It's
all part of the DAV Transportation Network, administered
by DAV Hospital Service Coordinators (HSCs) at the VA's
172 medical centers. The DAV has also donated vans,
where needed, to make the program work.
All DAV van drivers are volunteers and do not
receive payment for the services they provide.
