#VADidThat

Veteran Tammy D'Alesandro says the Whole Health modality saved her life. After leaving the military, she felt so lost and unsure of who she was that she sometimes wished she wasn’t here anymore. But once she started participating in Whole Health programs are her local VA Medical Center, everything changed for the better. Now she is healthy, happy, and hopeful about her future. Veteran and Whole Health Nurse Educator Kathleen Bixby explains how the Whole Health modality works in addressing every aspect of a Veteran's care, including physical health, mental health, and self-expression. The modality has proven it is effective. Opioid use among Veterans engaged in Whole Health decreased by 23% to 38%, and Bixby notes that Veterans who participate say they also feel like they have more control in their lives.
