Dr. Michelle Pebole, PhD, MA, from VA Boston Healthcare System, was selected for the NIH–VA Building Interdisciplinary Research Careers in Women’s Health (BIRCWH) Scholars Program for her development of exercise programs designed specifically for Women Veterans who have experienced trauma, including sexual or partner violence.
As a 2026–2028 BIRCWH Scholar, Dr. Pebole will receive national interdisciplinary mentorship and training opportunities through NIH as her research will help eventually provide real‑world delivery in VA settings that helps Women Veterans rediscover movement in positive, sustainable ways.

Homelessness Isn't Always Visible for Veterans. 🏡
Homelessness can often be hidden - like sleeping in cars or couch-surfing to escape unsafe situations. Veterans face unique challenges, but VA can help!

If you are a Veteran who is homeless or at imminent risk of homelessness, we strongly encourage you to contact the National Call Center for Homeless Veterans at 877-424-3838 for assistance.

Veterans waiting on a prosthetic aren’t waiting on equipment, they’re waiting to get life their life back. Faster process and local sourcing mean shorter delays.

#VAResearchNewsBrief: The VA Veteran Sponsorship Initiative (VSI) is a public-private partnership between federal and community partners that provides VA-certified, volunteer, peer sponsors and connection to community services. VA researchers assessed more than 1,000 active-duty Soldiers who transitioned out of the military in 2023, half of whom participated in VSI. Those in the VSI program were 2% less likely to have a suicide attempt and 20% more likely to use VA primary care within 10 months of leaving the Army. The findings demonstrate that VSI can be a valuable tool to support Veterans during the transition to civilian life. (International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, Apr. 17, 2026)

Scammers are mailing fake "Veterans Saving Program" postcards promising bigger payments and extra benefits. It's NOT from VA. It's a scam aiming to steal your info.
