Veterans face unique health challenges. Due to their service, they are at a higher risk for musculoskeletal injuries, chronic pain, mental health issues and PTSD. Changes to veteran health policies and processes could significantly impact their well-being.
Veterans experience disproportionately high suicide rates. In 2021, their suicide rate was double that of nonveteran US adults, with specific subpopulations like LGBTQ+ veterans and recent military leavers at increased risk.
