Celebrating 20 years of connecting Veterans to healthcare! This Veterans Day marks My HealtheVet’s 20th anniversary. As VA’s online patient portal, My HealtheVet is a key part of VA care.
Just ask, Maple Davis, an Army and Army Reserve Veteran. Davis has used the platform since it launched in 2003. “I tell every Veteran I talk to that if you’re not on My HealtheVet, you
need to sign up. It is the absolute best way to communicate with your providers, to get things done, and to learn information,” said Davis. Over 20 years, My HealtheVet has connected more
than 7 million Veterans to VA care. My HealtheVet over the years My HealtheVet is a pioneer in patient portal technology. The platform was piloted in 1999 at 9 VA medical centers across
the country. It launched nationally on Veterans Day, November 11, 2003. The portal’s first features included trusted health information, an overview of VA benefits, and a health calendar.
Soon after launching, My HealtheVet added a personal health record. This allows Veterans to enter their own health information. Since then, My HealtheVet has continued to add features that
Veterans now rely on. Take a look at some key updates.
