What this is — and what it isn't

Before you type in a single thing, here's who we are, where the science comes from, and the honest limits of what this app can do.

Who we are

Connecting the Dots of Service is built by Operation Whole Health, a Patriot-founded 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Our founder, Michael Jones, is not a veteran — he built this alongside veterans and their families who lived the struggle of trying to connect their health to their service. It is free, and it always will be for veterans.

Where the science comes from

The exposures and conditions in this app are grounded in documented, public sources: the PACT Act of 2022, 38 CFR Part 3, the Camp Lejeune Justice Act, VA presumptive lists, and ATSDR toxicological profiles. Every known site is labeled honestly — recognized (the government concedes the link), documented (a federal agency finding or peer-reviewed study), or emerging (a real but not-yet-recognized link). We will not overclaim, because a weak claim hurts your credibility.

What this app does

It helps you map where you served, understand what you were likely exposed to, connect those exposures to your health, and assemble a claim-support packet you can bring to an accredited representative and a clinician.

What this app is not

It is not the VA, and it cannot grant, deny, or guarantee any claim outcome.

It is not legal advice or representation. We are not your accredited representative. The packet is a tool to bring to an accredited Veterans Service Officer (DAV, VFW, American Legion, or a VA-accredited agent or attorney) — and we strongly encourage you to work with one. They represent you; we help you walk in prepared.

It is not medical advice or a diagnosis. The health and root-cause education here is general information to explore with your own clinician — never a treatment plan, a prescription, or a substitute for professional care.

Your data is yours

Everything you enter is private to you, protected so that only you can read your own record, and never sold. See our Privacy Policy for the details.
