Tacoma is home to Joint Base Lewis-McChord, one of the largest military installations on the West Coast, and the big South Sound community of soldiers, airmen and military families that grew up around it. Generations of service members put down roots here, from the North End and Stadium District to Lakewood, University Place, Parkland and Spanaway.
Everything we do for Tacoma veterans can be handled remotely - a free phone discussion, a secure upload of your records and telehealth video when an evaluation is involved. Our office is in Colorado, and we proudly serve veterans nationwide, including Tacoma. Call (844) 368-2757 and we will tell you honestly whether we can help, whether you are near the JBLM gates, down in South Tacoma, or out in Puyallup or Gig Harbor.

The American Lake VA Medical Center in Lakewood is part of the VA Puget Sound Health Care System, with community clinics across the South Sound and the Seattle VA Medical Center for tertiary care, so most local veterans already have records inside the VA system.
See Puget Sound VA health care locationsWith decades of infantry, aviation and artillery service at Fort Lewis and McChord Field, the claims we see most from Tacoma veterans involve tinnitus and hearing loss, PTSD and other mental health conditions, sleep apnea, back, knee and shoulder conditions, and respiratory conditions tied to deployment exposures.
