Veteran Jonathan Pearson makes his home in the great north woods of New Hampshire, far from the large VA medical facility that serves his region. For years, he received care from a team of dedicated VA providers at the Littleton Community Based Outpatient Clinic.

Today, more than 500,000 Veterans have received care through a hub, and the number of appointments for mental health care, primary care, and specialty care (clinical pharmacy, rehabilitation, and pain management) has surpassed 2 million.
