On October 25, VA Deputy Secretary Tonya Bradsher visited Fort Eustis and Langley Air Force Base VA Clinic.

During her visit, she held a roundtable discussion with soldiers preparing to transition out of the Army. In this forum, she emphasized the importance of filing VA claims early and outlined the benefits available to eligible service members. She also addressed several inquires from soldiers regarding their benefits and the PACT Act. 

 

Later that afternoon, the Under Secretary toured Hampton's newest VA Clinic at Langley Air Force Base. During the tour, she engaged with staff members and recognized key personnel at the facility. 

 

The Langley VA Clinic offers a comprehensive range of outpatient services for Veterans in the Hampton Roads area, including Primary Care and Mental Health services. The establishment of this new clinic is part of the VA Hampton Healthcare System and the Veterans Health Administration's initiative to enhance access to care for Veterans, thereby providing them with more healthcare options within their communities and fulfilling the mission to deliver exemplary care to our Nation's Heroes.
