OUR PURPOSE
MOBILE VET CENTER
The purpose of the Wichita Vet
Center is to reach Veterans and
their significant others throughout
the state of Kansas with education
and counseling. We also strive to
educate the Veteran community
to readjustment issues.
Our Mobile Vet Center provides
readjustment counseling as well
as other services to Veterans and
their families in rural areas.
The Wichita Vet Center provides
direct as well as outreach services
to eligible Veterans and their
family members who experience
readjustment difficulties as the
result of the service in the military.
YOU’VE HONORABLY SERVED YOUR COUNTRY, NOW LET US SERVE YOU!
