Adagio Health Honors Veterans by Reaffirming Commitment to No-Cost Care for Women Veterans

In recognition of Veterans Day, Adagio Health is reaffirming its ongoing commitment to serving women veterans through the Women Veterans’ Care Initiative, a program that ensures veterans can access comprehensive health and wellness services at no cost, regardless of insurance status. 

Established to address the unique needs of women who have served, the Women Veterans’ Care Initiative covers out-of-pocket costs such as co-pays, transportation, supplies, and program materials for eligible patients in Butler, Fayette, Indiana, Lawrence, and Venango counties. Adagio Health also accepts most insurance plans, including TRICARE, and many services are available free of charge regardless of coverage. 

“Our work with women veterans is deeply personal and part of who we are,” said Alicia Schisler, President & CEO of Adagio Health. “Through the Women Veterans’ Care Initiative, we continue to ensure that those who have served our country receive the same respect and compassion they gave in service — without barriers, without stigma, and without cost standing in the way of care.” 

Adagio Health is recognized by PsychArmor as a Veteran Ready Organization and incorporates trauma-informed practices across its care model. The organization commissioned the RAND Corporation in 2022 to complete a regional needs assessment of women veterans, published in 2023, which continues to guide program design and outreach. 

Army Veteran Amanda Smith, Adagio Health’s Women Veterans Care Navigator, provides personalized support to help veterans connect with medical care, mental health resources, and community programs. Smith is a certified Mental Health First Aid for Veterans and Military Families instructor and a passionate advocate for women who have served.
