Women often carry the weight of families, careers, and communities, and too often, their own health falls to the bottom of the list. At the Atlanta VA Health Care System, we want every woman Veteran to feel empowered to make informed decisions about her care.

Our self-referral option allows women Veterans to schedule gynecological appointments on their own terms. No referral is needed. Whether it’s a routine screening, a concern you’ve put off, or simply peace of mind, self-referral gives you direct access to the care you deserve.

You don’t need permission to prioritize your well-being. Taking that step today can shape a healthier future for yourself and for the generations who look to you.

Learn more about women’s health services at the Atlanta VA and take charge of your care with confidence.
