Free Medical Alert Systems from the VA
Veterans of all ages may be eligible for a free medical alert system from providers that have partnered with the Department of Veterans Affairs. These systems can help you or your loved one remain safer and more independent even when living alone. These devices are sometimes referred to as personal emergency response systems (PERS) and usually take the form of a bracelet or pendant. The features and functionality vary, from basics such as two-way speech to automatic fall detection, GPS and voice guidance.
Whether it’s needed due to a physical disability, health concerns or a simple matter of the years adding up, veterans may qualify for a free medical alert system from the VA or state assistance programs. The VA recommends wearing a medical alert bracelet to get help quickly in many scenarios, from food allergies to Alzheimer’s disease, and for storing vital health information to be accessed in an emergency.

We created PRIME to showcase what happens when rivals come together as brothers and business partners to fill the void where great taste meets function.
We dropped our first product, PRIME Hydration in 2022 and since then, we’ve continued to work countless hours to expand in retailers, reach new markets and formulate new products we know you’ll love.
We’ve been humbled by the process of creating a real brand & surpassing some of the biggest beverage companies in the world. As underdogs, we always cherish the opportunity to show the world what’s possible.
Now that we’re both fighting for the same team, we truly believe the sky is the limit.

“Faith Is: Living in the Age of Grace” by author Dawn LaTorria LaCoste is a resounding opus filled with virtues that tackle one’s personal faith in God. This is an impassioned narrative that exudes with spiritual notions aimed at improving one’s personal relationship with God. Dawn LaCoste shares, “Did you know you have been empowered with the ability to do anything God has called you to do? Because every promise in the Bible has been made available to you through the grace of God, He is Faithful, He will never owe you, never leave you, never forsake you, neither will he let you down. Right-believing equals right-thinking, so the most critical thing for you to realize as a Christian is your true identity under grace. You are in Christ— the root of righteousness. You are just like Christ on this earth. This means you are the righteousness of God by faith. This is the good news about how you have been made righteous, independent of your good work or performance. This is living under the grace of God: He does what you can’t do. This is a blessing, not a disgrace because living your dreams isn’t easy sometimes. It takes trust in the finished work of Christ, persistently applying the word of God no matter what it looks like, and the twin powerhouses: faith and patience. Because faith takes what Grace has made available to it.”

Coming Home Well is a local Charlottesville radio program that focuses on educating civilians, friends & family, about the issue that their veterans face when they come home from war. Bluntly, we don’t come home well, and the VA and Pentagon are not the solution. Civilians are the answer to us coming home well. But often, civilians don’t know what to ask or how to ask it. That’s where we step in.
We are the only program in the nation to focus on teaching civilians about our challenges. We have approximately 10-15k live listeners on Saturday mornings at 8:00 am, and a vibrant online community who listen to our podcasts and follow us on social media. Our host Bob Abbott is also heavily engaged with the local veteran community, heading discussion panels and hosting documentary screenings. He is dedicated to ensuring that veterans who need help can find it within their own friend networks. His motto is “until all are home, and all are well”.

One of our coaches meets 1:1 with the same caregiver in a place of the caregiver’s choosing (including via Skype and/or phone when not near us or that’s what a caregiver prefers). The program is evidence-based with statistically significant improvements of caregiver depression and health status, as well as reduction of children’s anxiety. Our coach meets with the caregiver four times over 4 – 6 months to support positive solutions to problems the caregiver identifies. In between each meeting a phone calls is made to the caregiver. The emphasis is on the FOCUS acronym, which expands to: Facts, Optimism, Creativity, Understanding, and Solve. OFC is not psychotherapy, though coaches may help clients identify concerns they can share with their therapists.
