From darkness back into the light. Veterans are finding strength, healing, and hope. You are not alone.

Advocating for Veterans doesn’t stop at the county line.

We’re proud to see our Executive Director, Mike Farmer, helping represent the voices of Veterans and Government Veterans Service Officers at the national level through his leadership with NACVSO.

These conversations with VA leadership are an important opportunity to share the challenges we see firsthand in our communities, strengthen partnerships, and help shape meaningful improvements in how Veterans and their families are served.

What we learn here in Butler County matters, and we’re proud to have a voice at the table in Washington, D.C. 🇺🇸

🚐 Have a VA Medical Appointment Coming Up?

Getting to your appointment shouldn't be another thing to worry about.
BCVSC provides door to door transportation for eligible Butler County veterans traveling to covered VA medical appointments.

The important part: plan ahead. Transportation requests require 48 business hours notice so our team has time to get your trip scheduled.

Have an upcoming appointment and need a ride? Give us a call and we'll help determine whether your trip qualifies.

While millions of veterans are enrolled in VA health care, only about 1 in 4 are eligible for VA dental care. That’s why Butler County created a local dental program to help eligible veterans get the dental care they need right here in our community.

We appreciate FOX19 and Stefano DiPietrantonio helping us spread the word about this important resource for Butler County veterans.
