CARES

CARES (Capital Asset Realignment for Enhanced Services) is a restructuring process to provide veterans the right care, at the right place, at the right time.  It will develop strategies for meeting current and future veterans' needs for accessible, quality health care and align capital assets to meet those needs.   New technology, improved treatments and extensive academic affiliations, combined with more veterans seeking VA health care, have compelled VA to restructure its assets and buildings.  Designed and built decades ago under a different concept of medical care, VA's assets today do not always support optimal access to veterans for the least cost.  A new focus, "health care is local," means putting more resources into community-based facilities closer to where veterans live.
