About the Veterans Medical Neighborhood Consortium (VMNC) in Howard County

The Premier Health Express Urgent Care ClinicAmerican Diversity Group and the Warrior Centric Healthcare Foundationare members of the growing Veterans Medical Neighborhood Consortium (VMNC) in Howard County. The need for quality and timely health care for our Veterans continues to be of growing concern.  It’s well established that Veterans as a group are more insured than their non-Veteran counterparts, however half of the veteran population, who were of working age (ages 19 to 64), 510,000 (5.5 percent) were uninsured in 2016 along with 3.8 million members of their households.

While the VA remains a unique source of health care for Veterans, it is not universally available to all veterans. Eligibility is based on veteran status, service-connected disability status, income level and other factors. In addition, not all eligible veterans actually use VA for their health care. Indeed, some don’t even realize they are eligible for VA health care. In fact, among uninsured veterans, about one-quarter could potentially qualify to use VA health care based on their service-connected disability status or income level.
