Military service can bring stress not just for service members, but also for their families, friends, and neighbors. Deployment, reintegration, and combat injuries common today can add to the mental and emotional strain. When those stresses do occur, it’s not always easy for those affected to know where to turn for help.

Health Services, Inc. is committed to meeting the ongoing needs of veterans of military service, active duty military personnel, and their families. Licensed behavioral health professionals undergone specialized training to understand and sensitively deal with military issues and the unique needs of this population.

Health Services Outreach and Enrollment offers assistance to the under and uninsured patients by assisting with help receiving affordable healthcare coverage through the Marketplace or healthcare.gov, which are both based upon eligibility. If patients are not eligible for insurance through the Marketplace, they will be referred to one of our ten locations at Health Services for further assistance.

In addition to assisting with health insurance coverage, we also refer our patients to outside community resources for additional needs, educate them about the Affordable Care Act and how it works as well as educate them on how to properly use their insurance should they qualify. We also assist elderly clients with Medicare questions and we assist consumers with Medicaid via Marketplace.
