MUSKOGEE — A $3.9 million grant from the Department of Veterans Affairs' Office of Rural Health will help the Jack C. Montgomery VA Medical Center launch new initiatives to reach veterans in rural eastern Oklahoma.

The grant will help the medical center establish home-based primary care teams that will take health care to eligible veterans in the Hartshorne, Pawhuska, Talihina and Vinita areas.

Home-based primary care is made up of an interdisciplinary team that travels to the home and provides care to veterans who do not have adequate access to health care because of medical, social or behavioral conditions that prevent travel to clinics. By SUSAN HYLTON, World Staff Writer
