BattleBuddyBot & VA Priorities

VAs Six Top Health Care Priorities

"These six VA health care priorities are the top–level strategic and operational advancements of the greatest importance that must be achieved by VA. They are intended to be clear and actionable achievements that deserve the VA's top performance, our focused commitment, and the best use of our available resources."

That’s why we say, “BattleBuddyBot doesn’t replace the VA — we amplify it.” Veterans now have a direct, personalized path to get plugged in from day one, with best practices tailored to their unique needs. This initiative strengthens the VA’s mission by turning every policy into practical, accessible action.

1. Suicide Prevention

Early clarity saves lives. BattleBuddyBot helps Veterans find mental health resources and support paths before crisis hits — no waiting rooms or phone trees.

2. Access to Care

We simplify the front door. From eligibility and enrollment to understanding what to ask at your first VA visit, we help Veterans get care faster and with improved efficacy.

3. Care Coordination

BattleBuddyBot connects the dots across systems. It guides Veterans through referrals, programs, and benefits in plain English — reducing missed care opportunities and system confusion.

4. Innovation

Built by a former VA clinician, BattleBuddyBot is AI-powered and backed by lived expertise. It engages Veterans in trauma-aware, exposure-informed conversations — always tailored to their personal service history and needs.

5. Workforce Support

By answering common questions and helping Veterans self-navigate, we reduce administrative burden on frontline staff and increase Veteran readiness.

6. Rebuilding Trust (HRO)

We meet Veterans where they are — with 24/7 support that speaks plainly, listens well, and respects the complexity of the Veteran journey. That’s how we strengthen institutional trust.
