Veterans Health Coalition

What Veterans Health Coalition does

Veterans Health Coalition (VHC) is a nonprofit coalition organization founded in 2013 and headquartered in Wausau, Wisconsin, that operates as a Community Veterans Engagement Board (CVEB) for Southeast Wisconsin. Its mission is to coordinate communication among veteran-serving organizations and connect veterans, servicemembers, military families, and caregivers to holistic services including mental health, addiction programs, peer support, employment assistance, and veteran benefits. Core operational assets include a public Resource Directory listing 26 member organizations by service category, bi-monthly membership meetings held via Zoom, and the VetOrg Buddy Check peer support gathering.

In June 2018, VHC formally aligned with the VA's Veterans Experience Office to become a CVEB, gaining integrated representation from all three VA administrations while preserving its independence and member-run governance. The coalition has developed programmatic partnerships with the Medical College of Wisconsin to host the Captain John D. Mason Veteran Peer Outreach Program (which deploys Veteran Peer Specialists for mental health and community resource support) and is networked with peer Wisconsin CVEBs in Madison, the Fox Valley, and Marathon County. AARP is acknowledged as a major sponsor of the organization's website.

VHC is a grant-supported, member-run nonprofit rather than a commercial enterprise. It has 1-10 employees, no parent company, no institutional or PE/VC ownership, and no disclosed software products or revenue model. Its technology footprint is limited to a public website and Zoom-based meetings, and scale commentary is restricted to its 26-entry directory and Southeast Wisconsin geographic reach. The organization is structured for community-level impact and stakeholder coordination rather than venture-scale growth.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Team Rubicon: Veteran-led disaster response and community service nonprofit that mobilizes veterans into service activities. Comparable to VHC's veteran-engagement and community-coalition model, with similar peer-support and community-driven values but operating nationally.
• Disabled American Veterans (DAV): National veterans service organization focused on benefits navigation, advocacy, and connecting disabled veterans to services. Shares VHC's orientation toward helping veterans access fragmented benefits and health resources, but operates nationally with paid staff and formal service programs.
• American Legion: Largest U.S. wartime veterans service organization with state and local posts coordinating benefits, advocacy, and community programs for veterans. Overlaps with VHC's coordination and advocacy role but operates nationally with a much broader service portfolio.
• Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW): National congressionally-chartered veterans service organization providing advocacy, benefits assistance, and community programs through local posts. Comparable to VHC in veteran-services coordination but with vastly greater scale and an established member-driven infrastructure.
• Cohen Veterans Network: National nonprofit operating a network of outpatient mental health clinics for veterans and military families. Comparable to VHC's mental health and peer-support coordination role in Southeast Wisconsin, but at national scale with clinical service delivery.
• Wounded Warrior Project: Large national nonprofit providing mental health, peer support, career, and wellness programs to post-9/11 veterans. Comparable in delivering holistic veteran services and peer support programming similar to VHC's VetOrg Buddy Check and CVEB coordination model.
• Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA): National advocacy and support organization for post-9/11 veterans focused on policy, community building, and connecting members to services. Comparable to VHC's role of connecting veterans to fragmented benefits and resources, but with a national advocacy footprint.

Direct peers

• Fox Valley Veterans Council: Wisconsin-based CVEB-affiliated veteran council in Appleton serving the Fox Valley region. Engages in the same member-organization coordination, peer support, and VA-aligned veteran service work as VHC, just in a different Wisconsin geography.
• Madison CVEB: Sister Community Veterans Engagement Board operating in Madison, WI under the same VA Veterans Experience Office initiative. Operates an identical CVEB coordination model for veterans in its region, making it the most directly comparable peer to VHC's Southeast Wisconsin footprint.
• Marathon County Soldier & Family Readiness: Wausau-based CVEB partner organization operating within the same Wisconsin CVEB network as VHC. Performs comparable veteran and family readiness coordination, peer support, and community engagement functions in north-central Wisconsin.
