This year’s outreach program the VA will travel to rural areas and bring the resources to Veterans and talk about their healthcare concerns, or provide help navigating the VA Health Care System, benefits and assist Veterans with resources and claims process.

The OKC VA is able to bring the necessary resources to local communities by partnering with Office of Tribal Government Relations, Muskogee Benefits Office, the Oklahoma Department of Veterans Affairs and bringing all the experts together to provide Veterans with toxic exposure screening, meeting local providers, enrolling in healthcare, filing service connection claims and much more.
