The VA Clinic in TV (currently at Laurel Manor, soon to be at Mulberry Grove) treats all vets who qualify. You can go to the clinic, get paperwork, and get qualified.
Another great resource for all vets is the Vets Service Office in the Sumter County Government Annex Building on CR 466 near Morse Boulevard. Stop by to see them - great folks who will help you a lot.
For retired vets, if you have Medicare as primary and Tricare For Life (TFL) as secondary, you will find all kinds of places in and around TV to treat you. With Medicare and TFL, you will seldom pay anything at all.
Last item, for all vets needing to go to the hospital in Gainesville, the DAV runs a daily (free) van from TV to Gainesville VA and return. Call the DAV Dispatcher at the VA Clinic in TV to schedule a ride. You have to be at Spanish Springs at 0645 hours for pickup and return time is based on time of last persons appointment. They won't take your reservation if your appointment time in Gainesville is after noon so make morning appointments. You can make an 8 AM appointment but you may be a few minutes late for it as the van typically arrives in Gainesville around 8:10 - 8:20.
