About Malcom Randall Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center
Home to the state’s largest and oldest university, Gainesville, Florida also features the Malcom Randall Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center. This outpatient center provides medical, behavioral health and social services for Veterans and their families. You can access comprehensive care for addiction and co occurring disorders which includes group therapy, individual counseling and medication assisted treatment.
Spiritual Support for Recovery
What strikes me the most about this VA center is they provide chaplain support. These trained specialists offer pastoral and spiritual care for you and your loved ones. You’ll benefit from a helpful ally who provides hope and comfort, listens to your challenges, and offers emotional support and prayer in your recovery journey.
Inclusive LGBTQ+ Care in Gainesville
Another feature that caught my eye was their specialized services for Veterans in the LGBTQ+ community. You’ll have access to an LGBTQ or Transgender Veteran Care Coordinator based on your unique needs. They serve as a person of contact and an advocate as well as a source of information along the way.
Services for Veterans Who Are Unhoused
I also think their tailored care for Veterans who are homeless or experiencing housing insecurity seems fantastic. Their dedicated team helps you get back on your feet with immediate connections to shelter and food. To help you long term they offer life skills development and education along with job training and more. You can even access temporary financial support to prevent homelessness.
