About the Program

Women who have served in the Armed Forces are eligible for a variety of veterans benefits. VA actively encourages women to utilize the benefits due them.

The Louisville VAMC Women's Health Program targets programs and facilities to meet the unique needs of female veterans.

Services Offered

Louisville VAMC services for women include —

• Maternal Health
  • VA provides limited maternity benefits for women veterans and includes prenatal care, labor and delivery, and post-natal care. However, we do not provide for care of the newborn as current law still prohibits us from caring for spouses and dependents. The Womens Veterans Coordinator and Social Work Service are available to assist in arranging for the care of your newborn.
• Additional Services

  • In addition, Louisville VA Medical Center provides women veterans with routine medical care such as complete physicals which include breast and pelvic examinations; gynecology services including general reproductive and menopausal health care; specialized care that specifically addresses the active duty military experience; and referrals for specialty services which may not be available on site.

For More Information

For your convenience, a women veterans coordinator is available to assist women veterans seeking medical care and VA benefits at the Louisville VA Medical Center.
