More healthcare options for Guard and reservists
Louisiana's Department of Veterans Affairs can serve more people at its healthcare facilities. The added group includes nonveteran National Guard members and reservists not called to federal duty under Title 10. Facilities also serve war veterans with psychiatric or age-related conditions and others eligible under federal veterans law, Title 38. The expanded authority does not guarantee care to any person.
