## Resource

Veterans across Vermont are getting a major dental care upgrade thanks to the nation’s first mobile VA dentistry van — a groundbreaking two-year pilot funded by Congress. With no VA dental clinic in the state, this van brings essential oral health services directly to veterans, especially those in rural or mobility-challenged areas. Equipped with multiple chairs and full dental gear, it’s stationed at Hartford Hospital and ready to serve. Veterans like David Peirce, a Vietnam vet, praised the initiative as life-changing, highlighting how critical access to care is when local dentists are scarce. The program underscores that oral health is vital to overall well-being — and this mobile unit is literally bringing that care to veterans where they live.
