SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- As the government considers sending more military
veterans to community doctors for medical care, a new study shows most
New York doctors are not prepared to handle them.
Only about 2 percent of doctors and other health care providers in
New York are equipped to provide timely and quality care to veterans,
according to a RAND Corporation study funded by the New York Health Foundation.
The study found most providers are not familiar with military culture or routinely screen for conditions common among veterans.
The study comes at a time when federal officials are considering
allowing more veterans to use their benefits to get care in the
community instead of VA hospitals.
