3 NO MORE IMPORTANT TIME, NO GREATER OPPORTUNITY We have a critically important mission and a long-term, meaningful purpose about which there is no question. We should remain confident in our sustained commitment regardless of the daily cross-fire or transitions in team members which have always been part of our journey. There are health care and mental health services and research that VHA does that simply cannot be replicated in the private sector. There is tremendous agreement that VHA is improving and has many successes to be proud of. We must emphasize our essential services for Veterans and stories of improvement to continue restoring trust in VA. VHA has always used community care to supplement our great work. VHA staff provide the vast majority of care within VA s high performing network and community care represents about 20% of our budget. Commitment to creating an amazing health care system so that Veterans choose VA is the primary driver for what we do every day. VHA Operational Plan lays the pathway for our future. 3

5 EXECUTIVE ORDER: JOINT ACTION PLAN Executive Order 13822: Supporting Our Veterans During Their Transition From Uniformed Service to Civilian Life Instructs VA, DoD, and DHS to work together to ensure newly separated Veterans receive one year of mental health care from VA after discharge. The goal is to support new Veterans in making a successful transition to a fulfilling civilian life and to have access to any mental health care needed during the critical first year period following separation from active duty. Joint Action Plan Goals: 1. Ensure ALL transitioning Service members are aware of and have access to mental health services. 2. Ensure the needs of at-risk Veterans are identified and met. 3. Improve mental health and suicide prevention services for individuals that have been identified (indicated populations) in need of care. 5

6 CRITICAL COMPONENT - VSOs Veteran Service Organizations (VSOs) are our shareholders - versus stakeholders - and our greatest advocates. They make it a priority to know our business and we must make a stronger effort to understand their business so that we can work even more collaboratively. VSOs can reach most Veterans through social media. For example, the Vietnam Veterans of America can reach 10 million followers and the Wounded Warrior Project can reach 3 million instantly. VHA can both leverage and learn from VSOs to reach more Veterans through social media. VSOs are committed to helping us magnify our good works and positive stories, as well as provide support when those stories are not positive. They will stand with us when we own our mistakes and help us in fixing them. VA must be transparent and willing to tell the story first. 6
