Ombudsmen have experience resolving a number of problems, such as issues with care quality and inappropriate transfers and discharges. |
| Veterans Assistance Program | (425) 388-7255 | The Veterans Assistance Program can assist military veterans in Snohomish County in several ways. Its veterans' services officers can help with filing benefits claims, including appeals if benefits are denied, and refer vets and their families to the Everett VA Clinic if they're in need of medical care. The program also advocates for vets in the community and can provide help specifically tailored for seniors and the disabled. |
