Programs

Each VHA facility has special programs, such as the Reception Desk or Escort Service, that can be administered by Voluntary Services. Voluntary Service programs can be local or national. This screen allows you to create a local station program. Each locally created program requires a name and a code.

Though you can use the Programs screen to view the name and code for both local and national Voluntary Services programs at your station, you can edit only local programs. National programs are maintained by Central Office.
