Veterans

 

Background:

Washington State has over 100 years of experience caring for veterans and their families.

The Washington State Department of Veterans Affairs manages three facilies throughout the state, where veterans are treated with the dignity and respect they deserve, in distinctive settings that all provide a sense of belonging unique to veterans.

All three homes share a common goal of providing responsive medical and supportive care to veterans who can no longer provide for themselves.

For more information please go to: Washington State Veterans Homes or call 1-877-VETS-R-US(1-877-838-7787) for more information.

Asbestos Cancer Strikes Navy Retirees

Many Navy retirees are now being diagnosed with asbestos-related diseases caused by exposure which occurred while serving aboard ships in the 1940s, 50s, and 60s.  Because of the long latency periods involved in all asbestos diseases, both cancerous and non-cancerous, it may take from 20-50 years or more from initial exposure to the time symptoms begin to appear.  Anyone who served aboard ship or worked in the shipyards is a risk, for more information, see Veterans Resources
