In a significant advancement for Veteran healthcare, G. V. (Sonny) Montgomery VA recently opened its new My HealtheVet (MHV) space. This event, coinciding with the 20th anniversary of My HealtheVet, represents a pivotal moment in the evolution of care for Veterans and their families.
The recent expansion and relocation of the MHV space to a more accessible location near the facility’s main entrance is a testament to the digital revolution in Veteran health care. This new prime location offers increased visibility and foot traffic, and the expanded space now includes two additional state-of-the-art kiosks, significantly enhancing accessibility for Veterans.
“It’s a leap towards the full potential of My HealtheVet.”
PaTrice Cole, My HealtheVet coordinator, expressed her enthusiasm for this development. “This initiative is close to my heart, and witnessing the growth of our My HealtheVet program is incredibly fulfilling. The support from other facility services was crucial in making this vision a reality. This new space is not just a location change, it’s a leap toward realizing the full potential of My HealtheVet in our Veterans’ health care journey.”
Since its launch in November 2003, My HealtheVet has revolutionized how Veterans, active-duty service members, their dependents and caregivers interact with VA care. In the past two decades, it has empowered more than 7 million Veterans, active-duty service members, and their dependents and caregivers, granting them greater control over their health care experiences.
The platform has facilitated over 255 million VA prescription refill requests, enabled more than 204 million secure messages with VA care teams and seen over 59 million health record files downloaded through the VA Blue Button, a feature that allows users easy access to their personal health information.
G.V. (Sonny) Montgomery VA and the Columbus, Greenville, Hattiesburg, Kosciusko, McComb, Meridian and Natchez VA Clinics are all part of the VA Jackson Health Care System, which is headquartered in Jackson, Mississippi, and it provides a variety of medical outpatient services to more than 54,000 Veterans.
