Fresh Focus #95: Introduction into Home Based Primary Care

Are you a Veteran or do you know a Veteran that has a hard time getting out of their home for their medical appointments? Listen in to learn about a VA program called Home Based Primary Care (HBPC). This program is for Veterans that have complex and chronic disease(s) for which routine clinic-based care may not be effective. HBPC is commonly referred to as a primary care clinic on wheels because we come to your home for your primary care needs versus you coming into the clinic. HBPC uses an interdisciplinary approach to meet the Veteran’s needs. The team’s focus is the Veteran and how they can help, encourage, and educate the Veteran to meet their own health goals and needs.
