Let's head into our weekend with a little inspiration!

After losing his home and belongings in a devastating fire, a blind Veteran arrived at VA Augusta on April 17 overwhelmed and uncertain where to turn. VA nurse Julie Cole and her husband, Ed Cole — an Army Veteran and VA Ambassador — rallied a team spanning multiple VA service lines to restore the Veteran’s safety, dignity, and stability. With the Blind Rehab team replacing his adaptive technology and the Homeless Vet Program’s HUD-VASH team securing his housing, this Veteran found hope and support when he needed it most. This is the power of the VA Augusta community — coming together to change lives in times of crisis.

VA Golden Age Games began in 1985, long before “senior athletics” was a mainstream idea. VA recognized that aging Veterans needed more than medical care. They also needed motivation, goals, and a sense of connection. So, the Games were born with just a few hundred competitors.
Today, they’ve grown into a major event where thousands of athletes and supporters from across the country come to take part. It is a living tribute to the fact that service continues after age 50 and that strength can last a lifetime.

The Veterans Health Administration is marking 80 years of supporting Veterans of all ages and abilities just like the Golden Age Game athletes. Learn more.

VA telehealth bridges health care access and expertise across distances that otherwise separate some Veterans — especially those living in rural areas — from the providers best able to serve them.

Learn more about telehealth services at www.telehealth.va.gov and contact your care team to develop a care plan that works best for you.

From your home, the clinic, or the hospital, VA telehealth technologies make it easier for you to connect with your VA care team.
• At Home: Meet with VA providers virtually and send important health data from where you are, using your computer or mobile device.
• In the Clinic: Connect with VA health specialists across the country from a VA clinic near you.
• In the Hospital: Telehealth in hospitals helps VA providers collaborate to improve your care — whether they share an office or work on opposite sides of the country.

Learn more about how telehealth gives you access to the care you need, when and where you need it, on the VA Telehealth Services website Talk with your VA care team to learn more and see if telehealth is a good fit for your care!

On April 16, the 3C CLC Independence Pointe neighborhood celebrated 390 consecutive days without a healthcare-related Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infection (CAUTI), demonstrating an outstanding commitment to patient safety and quality care. The 3C team is on track to complete Fiscal Year 2026 CAUTI-free. CAUTIs, caused by germs entering the urinary tract via a catheter, are one of the most common healthcare-associated infections and can lead to pain, discomfort, and even life-threatening complications. Through the consistent reduction of Foley catheter use and strict adherence to the Foley catheter bundle, the 3C staff have made a substantial positive impact on resident outcomes, setting a high standard in infection prevention and quality care for their Veteran residents.
