In Search Of Oregon Women Vets (And Info)

Wikimedia

  The image conjured by the word "veteran" changes over time, because veterans themselves are changing. 

More women are serving in the armed forces, and once out, they are eligible for the same health services as men.  A major question is: do they use those services? 

The Oregon Department of Veterans' Affairs wants an answer to that question, and invites women vets to take a survey on their use of health services.  Elizabeth Estabrooks from the ODVA visits with the details on the process.
