THANKS for Responding to Our Readership Questionnaire
|
We would like to thank the 788 Veterans and their family members who responded to our readership questionnaire about Veterans’ Wellness magazine. This is an overwhelming response and will help us serve you better. Your answers will let us know what you want to see in the publication so we can tailor it to fit your needs.
According to the questionnaire, readers want to see more articles about healthy eating, exercise,
stress management, VA research, Veteran success stories, alternative medicine, and emotional issues, and they want to know more about their VA benefits.
The questionnaire results also supported our two main goals of sending you the magazine: to help you make informed choices about when, where, and how to seek medical treatment and to educate you about VA services available to you and your family.
In response to receiving Veterans’ Wellness:
74 percent report that they and/or a family member used services at VA Health Care Upstate New York in the past year
88 percent report that they and/or a family member changed the way they take care of themselves
93 percent report having a better understanding of which health care services are available and how to access them
43 percent report using one or more of the online or other health management services, such as registering for My HealtheVet, signing up for the MOVE! program, checking out a video podcast, or shopping at the online canteen store
Thank you for your continued support of Veterans’ Wellness.

Cost of Missed Appointments
A patient who doesn’t arrive for his or her appointment at a VA clinic or medical center is a “no-show” for that appointment. Please call to cancel your appointment so that your appointment time can be used by another Veteran in need.
