The VA's Whole Health Program

The VA's Whole Health Program focuses on personalized, patient-centered care that promotes overall well-being. Instead of just treating specific symptoms or illnesses, it encourages individuals to explore what matters most to them—such as relationships, purpose, and physical health—and develop a plan to support a balanced, meaningful life. The program integrates mind, body, and spirit through approaches like mindfulness, coaching, and lifestyle changes, empowering veterans to actively participate in their healing and health journey. It aims to improve quality of life by viewing health holistically, not just as the absence of disease.
