Seamless telehealth for all veterans
Virtual connected care
Our telehealth solutions help VA health systems to provide seamless, uninterrupted care in the hospital or at home for patients with chronic conditions or suffering acute health issues. From our transformational critical care Tele-ICU solution that has helped VA deliver quality care to patients even in remote areas, to our ambulatory telehealth programs that provide connection between post-acute caregivers and patients in their homes, Philips has the ability to deliver healthcare to our nation’s veterans where and when they need it most.

Connected care
From anywhere to anywhere
Philips, with the support of the Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) and The American Legion, is building enhanced telehealth experience pods at sites across the United States for veterans living in remote, or underserved, communities. This April, Philips visited Eureka, Montana, to kick off a design session for the first telehealth site opening later
this year.
Telehealth anywhere
During the VA’s ‘Anywhere to Anywhere, Together’ Summit in Washington, D.C. in December 2018, the Department of Veterans Affairs, Philips, VFW and The American Legion announced a joint program to place telehealth units in up to 10 VFW and American Legion posts across the U.S. by the end of 2019.
ATLAS Cocreate sessions
To better understand the challenges rural veterans face, Philips, the Department of Veterans Affairs, The American Legion and VFW didn’t just create ideas for veterans, we partnered with them to create custom solutions that work. This is ATLAS. We’re enabling healthcare access in remote areas across the U.S. so that all veterans can get the care they deserve.
Watch this video with veterans in Montana, California, and Pennsylvania, where we worked together to understand their healthcare challenges.
We are proud to be a part of Atlas, another step towards providing veterans with a solution for convenient access to VA
health care,"
