Percent of veterans in gynecologist supply deserts, across individual and homesite characteristics, FY17. VA, Veterans Health Administration. Notes: (1) Women residing in a gynecologist supply desert have both inadequate community supply in the county of residence (2 or fewer gynecologists per 10,000 women) and no local VA gynecologist (i.e., a gynecologist was available at the homesite or within 50 miles of the homesite, but still in VA). (2) Percents in figure use the total number of women with characteristic (as reported in column of Table 1) as the denominator. For example, among all rural women veterans (n = 108,789 women), 24% reside in a gynecologist supply desert. (3) “VAMC” and “women’s clinic at site” refers to the veterans’ homesite (i.e., where they get most of their primary care).
