Army and Navy Veteran Kenneth Turner recently lost his right leg to diabetes. As part of his recovery and rehabilitation at the West Texas VA, he used VA Video Connect to see a physiatrist at the Dallas VA Medical Center.

Turner would have had to make a four-hour drive to Dallas if not for VA Video Connect.
