Registration Help

Registration can be accessed by clicking the Register button in the right-hand Member Login panel.

What is your Relationship to VA?

Select your relationship to the VA by checking the appropriate checkbox. If you check VA Patient, your registration information will be matched with your official VA record (as described above). If you are a VA Patient and a match is not found during this process, you will have to check a different box to complete registration. If this happens, please complete registration and use the Contact us link so we can assist you. You can always go back and change this setting later.
