Lebanon , PA — The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs’ Lebanon VA Medical Center (VAMC) will hold a Veterans information and VA health care enrollment event with walk-in flu shots; Oct. 17 from 4-7 p.m. at the York County VA Clinic, 2251 Eastern Blvd., York; and Oct. 19 from 8 a.m.-noon,
at American Legion Post 202, 528 E. Middle St., Gettysburg.
The free events are open to the public and will feature numerous Lebanon VAMC informational displays highlighting: enrollment/eligibility, suicide prevention and visual impairment and rehabilitation services. Flu shots will also be provided on a walk-in basis to Veterans enrolled in VA health care.
“These events give us an opportunity to connect with Veterans on their home turf and connect them with the benefits they have earned through their service. I encourage any local Veteran not enrolled in VA health care or unfamiliar with the benefits available to them to attend.” said Robert W. Callahan, Jr., medical center director.
The events will provide Veterans with the opportunity to register for VA health care on site, learn about the various VA benefits available to them and speak with VA officials on any questions they may have. Veterans interested in on-the-spot enrollment should bring their DD 214s, 2018 income tax return and 2018 out-of-pocket household medical expenses. Questions on what to bring to accomplish enrollment can be directed to enrollment and eligibility at (717) 228-6000.
Representatives from VA’s National Cemetery Administration’s Indiantown Gap National Cemetery and VA’s Veterans Benefits Administration’s Philadelphia Regional Office will also highlight their benefits and programs at each event.
