3 Main Vet Centers

There are 3 main Vet Centers in the general Phoenix area.

They are actually not a part of the VA  system directly but are closely aligned to it.

Their purpose is primarily to help COMBAT veterans and spouses.

Vet Centers are community based and part of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. ... The goal of the Vet Center program is to provide a broad range of counseling, outreach, and referral services to eligible veterans in order to help them make a satisfying post-war readjustment to civilian life.

Probably the greatest number of attendees at the Vet Center and the use of their services is still the Vietnam Vet, but now the new people who seek assistance has finally shifted from the Vietnam Era veteran to younger veterans who have served in the military after Vietnam. Don't be embarrassed checking out what is available in the Vet Centers for veterans engaged in Military Conflict during their tour of duty in the Military. That is why the Vet Centers were created!  A facility where counselors are there to assist the military veteran ease back into society after having endured military conflict overseas.  Not only for the veteran, but for the benefit of spouses and family membe...

VA Clinics

There's a number of VA Clinics located throughout the Valley and neighboring areas. These are typically smaller facilities than the main Hospital on Indian School Road in the middle of Phoenix between 3rd Street and 7th Street. But the clinics are intended for more immediate care during normal hours without having to drive many miles. There are two websites that list the various locations and hours of operation: https://www.phoenix.va.gov/locations/ and https://www.google.com/search?sa=X&q=va+clinics+in+arizona&ved=0ahUKEwj-u-7r9r7cAhW4ITQIHflNBsQQuzEICQ&biw=1566&bih=787 To find the facility nearest to you, check the location nearest and try phone numbers during the operating hours and/or visit the facility to verify they are functional and what services they offer.
