Retired Army Veteran Michael Hanna is always looking for activities to keep him busy. Bike rides, swimming — “R&R,” as he calls it. But when he heard about an opportunity to support other Veterans in his community through ATLAS (Accessing Telehealth through Local Area Stations), he knew he had to get involved.
Hanna now volunteers at the ATLAS site at American Legion Post 12 in Wickenburg, Arizona. ATLAS offers Veterans a private space to have video telehealth appointments with their VA care team.
“ATLAS is a great program,” said Hanna. “It brings remote access for Veterans in Wickenburg, so they don’t have to travel over an hour away to Phoenix.”
