Coordinators also connected veterans with VA and local resources addressing health-related social needs. VetCoor included training on veteran needs and military culture. It also held a monthly community of practice call where coordinators shared best practices and met with facility representatives to learn about VA services.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>From May 2021 to September 2023, a total of 220 veterans participated, engaging in 773 sessions. Of these 220 veterans, 73 (33.2%) received VA enrollment assistance; 54 (24.5%) were referred for medical care; and 82 (37.3%) received care coordination, including medication reconciliation assistance. They also received assistance with transportation (46\/220, 20.9%) nutrition and food access (42\/220, 19.1%), housing and repair (42\/220, 19.1%), and utility payment support (31\/220, 14.1%). Common barriers to veterans seeking care were perceptions that enrolling in the VA took resources from veterans more in need and confusion regarding discharge papers required for enrollment.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>VetCoor supported rural veterans\u2019 health care and health-related social needs using dedicated coordinators.
