Accessible Care for Every Veteran
Veterans in rural or remote areas, such as those living in Alaska or Hawaii, often face unique challenges in accessing specialized mental health care. Geographic isolation can make it nearly impossible to find the right level of treatment nearby. At Solara, we are determined to close that gap.
Our travel program is a core part of this commitment. We ensure that veterans, regardless of where they live, can access our state-of-the-art facility and receive the evidence-based mental health care they need.
Geography will never stand in the way of healing when you partner with Solara Mental Health.
