  • Accessing Medical Care for Veterans Without a Family Doctor

    Accessing Medical Care for Veterans Without a Family Doctor
    2025/04/02
    Accessing healthcare can be challenging for Canadians without a family doctor, and Veterans are no exception. For Veterans, having a family doctor is often essential to navigate Veterans Affairs Canada benefits, as assessments, referrals, and documentation require a physician’s involvement. Unfortunately, many Veterans leaving the Canadian Armed Forces face additional hurdles when they find themselves without primary care.In this episode, retired Lieutenant-General Jean-Marc Lanthier joins us to shed light on the release process from the Canadian Armed Forces and discuss a key service designed to support Veterans without family doctors. Tune in to learn how Veterans can access the care they need during this critical transition.
