SWAN has long championed this Act–– versions of which were introduced in many past sessions of Congress without becoming law. The 116th Congress finally passed it and it was signed into law by President Trump on January 5, 2021. The main provisions of this Act include:

1. Establishes a dedicated Office of Women's Health within the Veterans Health Administration.

2. Expands reintegration and readjustment counselling for women veterans and their family members.

3. Bolsters call-services available for women veterans.

4. Eliminates barriers-to-care by staffing every VA facility with a dedicated women's primary care provider, training on women's healthcare for clinicians and retrofitting of VA facilities to provide privacy.

5. Provides access to certain legal services for women veterans who receive VA healthcare.

6. Requires a GAO report on VA efforts to support homeless and at-risk women veterans.

7. Expands counselling for MST to former National Guard and Reserve members.
