goal, the California Area Indian Health Services supports tribal governments
and urban Indian communities in the development and administration of
comprehensive healthcare delivery systems that meet the needs of Indian people.

WOMEN VETERANS
Women veterans are a vital part of the veteran population in California and the
United States Armed Forces. In 2013, California was home to 185,269 women
veterans. The CalVet Division for Women Veterans Affairs provides information,
advocacy, outreach and support to all women veterans and their families in
California. The Division also seeks to ensure that women veterans are aware of
their federal and state benefits so that they can obtain the unique services that
are available to them. Outreach efforts continue to expand so that assistance can
be provided to facilitate easy access to and utilization of services that address
the needs of women veterans.

veterans will receive updated information about benefits, programs, services and
resources throughout California.
