The Military Officers Association of America (MOAA) is the nation’s largest and most influential association of military officers. It is an independent, nonprofit, politically nonpartisan organization.
Welcome
WELCOME to the website of the MOAA Uniformed Services Nurse Advocates Virtual Chapter. If you are concerned about Military Healthcare issues which affect Uniformed Service Members (currently serving and Reserve/Guard components, Retirees, Veterans and their families), you’ve landed at the right site. If you’re a current or past member of a Uniformed Services Nurse Corps, you’re on a great path. We also require membership in the Military Officers Association of America, but that can be done as part of the application process at no cost. We also charge no dues! Our members have had interesting and diverse careers, with extraordinary expertise in many areas of nursing. Nurses have always been patient advocates, caring for them continues through advocacy for healthcare-related legislation and other important MOAA goals.
Purpose of MUSNAVC
To promote and support the Military Officers Association of America;
To foster fraternal relations and camaraderie among Military Nurses;
To advocate for Healthcare related services and programs for all Military service members, former and present.
Chapter Update
.
I am so humbled to send Season’s Greetings and best wishes for a healthy, safe, joyful and peaceful holiday season.
I want to thank you for your great support of our Virtual Chapter and for your membership in MOAA and MUSNAVC. I know that together, by continuing to advocate for our service members, veterans, beneficiaries and their families, past, present and future, that we are making a difference.
We have had successful endeavors and made many improvements within our Chapter this year. We look forward to 2025 with anticipation and much enthusiasm. We are grateful to have had a wonderful Board of Directors who have provided the leadership to keep us moving forward. It is our 525+ members who provide our strength and much needed support.
Warmest wishes to you and yours. Peace, joy, and good health to you in 2025. Your membership, friendship and commitment to “Never Stop Serving” are our great joy!
It is hard to believe that we are very close to the end of the 118th Congress. That means that any legislation which is not passed by December will have to be re-introduced by the new Congress in 2025. It is critical that lawmakers continue to hear about important issues, especially as we approach the start of the 119th Congress.
MUSNAVC is focused on several healthcare issues which the Defense Health Agency is considering. Access-to-care standards, recognizing capacity constraints in both MTFs and the TRICARE network, Quality of Care, and Deployment Readiness are among the concerns. Several VA considerations are also being monitored. We will start advocating as soon as the new Congress begins introducing bills in the 119th term.
National MOAA has recognized the significant role and contributions our Chapter members bring to the National Advocacy efforts of MOAA. Your membership, support, and commitment to “Never Stop Serving” is invaluable and much appreciated. Stay informed and stay involved.

Snapshot of Last Meeting
Our last meeting on 20 November 2024, Mr. Andrew Huber, Liaison Specialist, Library of Congress presented an overview of the Veterans History Project. He included how to conduct and interview and submit it to the Library of Congress. The project is important to preserve the legacy and events which our Veterans experienced. Every Veteran has a story to tell.
