🎉Celebrating 20 Years of MOVE! Empowering Health, Inspiring Wellness🎉 Yesterday, we celebrated 20 years of MOVE! and recognized the dedication and commitment our Veterans have shown in prioritizing their health and well-being. 💪❤️ Through perseverance, resilience, and a focus on healthy living, Veterans continue to make meaningful strides toward achieving their wellness goals.

This special event was designed to support and empower Veterans by providing valuable information on MOVE! classes, strength training, stroke prevention, and other resources that promote healthier lifestyles.

VA.gov just got easier, and you helped shape it. Nearly 90,000 Veteran survey responses told us what was getting in the way. Now, with a redesigned homepage and many new upgrades, you can: • Start from a redesigned homepage. • Sign in with Login.gov, ID.me, or the new CLEAR or Passkey options. All four are free and optional. • Stay signed in for months on your own device. • Use one sign-in for your claims, health chat, and status tracker. • Get claim updates by text, with no password needed. • Search in your own words, typos and all. • Track your claim from submitted to decision, with no phone call. • Upload documents in 3 steps instead of 11. Same VA.gov. Same account. Same benefits.

This past Saturday, our Buddy Brigade Peer Support Group teamed up with the Wounded Warrior Project for a day of connection, camaraderie, and self-care with fellow Veterans. Together, the Wounded Warrior Project and Buddy Brigade engaged with Veterans while focusing on physical and mental well-being. Participants had the opportunity to experience a variety of recovery and wellness modalities at Endurance Recovery Studio, including cold plunge therapy, red light therapy, compression boots, and sauna sessions. Sometimes taking care of ourselves means slowing down, trying something new, and making time to recharge. Recovery isn't just about pushing harder. It's also about knowing when to rest, reconnect, and invest in ourselves. Our Buddy Brigade Peer Support Group is grateful for the opportunity to build connections, strengthen our Veteran community, and remind one another that self-care is part of the mission. #SAVAHCSBuddyBrigade #WoundedWarriorProject #VeteranWellness #SelfCare #Recovery #VeteranCommunity #MentalHealthMatters
