UPDATES FROM PVA

Through PVA's partnership with the VA, every VA Acute Care SCI/D Center now includes a Home Environment Area (Transitional Apartment), essential for the rehabilitation of newly injured Veterans, giving Veterans and caregivers a chance to practice daily tasks in a real-world setting before discharge. 

This is just one of the ways PVA works to ensure that Veterans are fully prepared to transition back to independent living.
