Voluntary faith referrals for VA patients

If you get VA medical care, you could ask a VA chaplain to share your contact info with a faith group you name. This would happen only after a chaplain’s spiritual assessment and only if you elect to share. The group would be outside the VA, and this authorization is limited to your contact information. The bill sets no start date and adds no new funding.
