Abstract
The Department of Veterans Affairs is a large, multilayered administration providing veterans healthcare, numerous medical and caregiver benefits, and cemetery and burial services. Veterans account for a large portion of the population and have unique physical, psychological, spiritual, and social needs that are shaped by veterans’ perceptions of military experience and injuries or medical conditions related to their service. Many veterans receive their care outside the VA. This makes it imperative for everyone to have a basic understanding of the VA, military culture, and veterans’ multifaceted needs. Hospice and palliative care in and outside the VA setting are essential in order to provide veterans with improved quality of life and high-quality end-of-life care.
