In reality women have always served in the military in some capacity or the other. The difference today is that they are much more visible. They are capable and focused and recognized for their talents and skills. They are leaders who are as committed to safeguarding their country and its citizens as the next soldier.
Because the military has been traditionally geared towards men, many facilities and services within the VA have had to be expanded. Comprehensive health services are available to Women Vets from primary care, mental health services, to reproductive treatment. Maternity care is covered and treatment options include OB/GYNs, Certified Nurse Midwives, and Family Practitioners.
The VA also covers the cost of care of newborns of Veteran women for a period of seven days after birth. There are also limited services for infertility assessment and evaluation. The military has changed and women have been instrumental in bringing about a change that demonstrates the fortitude of women committed to serving the nation amid great sacrifice.
