Veterans’ Care for Life
Combat veterans deserve care for life. Michael Black Wolf believes supporting veterans means making a real commitment to their long-term physical health, mental health, and overall well-being.
For many veterans, the effects of service do not end when they come home. Physical injuries, PTSD, traumatic brain injury, and other service-related health issues can follow them for years. In a rural state like Montana, access to care can be even harder because of distance, provider shortages, and limited access to specialized treatment.
Michael supports expanding access to care through VA facilities, community partnerships, telehealth, and mobile clinics so veterans can get help closer to home. He also believes mental health care must be treated with the seriousness it deserves, with stronger access to counseling, therapy, peer support, and long-term wellness programs.
Veterans should not have to fight a second battle just to receive the care they earned. A strong veterans policy should provide dependable support for life and make sure no one is left behind because they live in a rural or underserved community.
Michael’s priorities include:
- Expanding access to medical care through VA facilities and community partnerships
- Increasing mental health services, including counseling, therapy, and peer support programs
- Supporting telehealth and mobile clinics for veterans in rural or underserved areas
- Encouraging preventive care and long-term wellness programs
- Facilitating access to specialized care for conditions such as PTSD, TBI, and other service-related health issues
