Legislation to enhance the Whole Health Program at the Veterans Administration (VA), which passed the U.S. Senate unanimously, now heads to the president’s desk to be signed. This legislation increases the holistic mental health resources available to veterans.
This bipartisan bill, “Whole Veteran Act” (H.R. 2359), was crafted by Reps. Lamb Conor (D-Penn.), Tim Ryan (D-Ohio), and Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Penn.), as part of a larger effort to prevent veteran suicides and provide holistic mental healthcare to servicemen and women.
