Adagio Health achieves Veteran Ready Certification
Adagio Health, a non-profit women’s healthcare focused organization, has partnered with PsychArmor, the leader in military culture training, to achieve Veteran Ready Certification. By taking this step to offer enhanced training for employees, Adagio Health is demonstrating its commitment to offering a more genuine connection and better support for those in military and veteran communities.
“We value our healthcare partners who are actively working to enhance healthcare competence through education and training. Cultural awareness training for providers assists in reducing or eliminating barriers to care,” said Dr. Tina Atherall, CEO of PsychArmor.
Adagio Health has over 50 years of experience providing care to veterans in western Pennsylvania, offering a range of services such as family planning, STI testing, gynecological care, cancer screenings, nutrition benefits, and tobacco cessation. The team is trained in trauma-informed care, and the organization is now recognized as a Veteran-Ready provider by PsychArmor. Adagio Health accepts most insurance plans, including TRICARE, and offers many services at no cost, regardless of insurance status.
In addition to health services, they provide veteran care navigation, counseling, and support, with a focus on connecting veterans to community resources for improved well-being. Mental health services, including counseling and referrals, are available both in-person and via telehealth at select locations. Recognizing that the experiences of military personnel are much different from those of nonmilitary personnel, these programs structure their content to address the needs and strengths of servicemembers, Veterans and their families, while also ensuring the provision of evidence-based therapeutic interventions.
“We’re proud to be recognized as a Veteran-Ready organization through PsychArmor,” said BJ Leber, President and CEO of Adagio Health. “This recognition reflects our deep commitment to ensuring that every woman veteran feels welcomed, valued, and empowered on her journey to optimal health and well-being. Our goal is to provide care that’s not only comprehensive but also accessible to all.”
As a nationally recognized nonprofit leader and preferred training provider for military cultural awareness, PsychArmor serves members of the military-connected community and anyone who wants to more effectively engage with them. Their team of clinical psychologists and social workers, all steeped in military culture, create learning journeys, from continuing education to customized training, including online courses, curricula, podcasts, webinars, live speaking engagements, and social media.
