Central Texas VA Medical Centers

Today while at the home oxygen clinic in the Temple Texas VA... I was informed that the VA is going to start issuing portable oxygen concentrators in about 3 months. Previously, the VA would only contract for Oxygen Tanks ... they are coming into the modern world. So any veteran that needs oxygen should consider this service, as in most cases  the service will be free. I like Free, especially since I am service connected for my lungs and for the last 12 years I have been getting portable oxygen concentrators thru Medicare/Tricare, and the local provider doesn't  care how slow they are when it comes to providing replacement equipment, as long as they are being paid.. This should make it easier for a lot of veterans.

That is good news.  My father had to use oxygen tanks before he died and they were unwieldy.
