Poplar Bluff , MO — POPLAR BLUFF, Mo. – Veterans from across southeast Missouri and northeast Arkansas are invited to attend an informational town hall to learn about services available to them and have their questions about VA health care answered.
The event, hosted by the John J. Pershing VA Medical Center, will take place April 3 at the Brown-Mabry American Legion Post 153, located at 2320 Kanell Blvd., in Poplar Bluff.
The doors will open at 3:00 p.m. and the program, which is expected to last about 1 hour, will begin at 4:00 p.m.
Speakers will cover a wide variety of VA health care topics, including patient experience, whole health, enrollment and eligibility, access to care, the My HealtheVet program, and more. However, visitors are encouraged to ask questions on any topic they are concerned about during the open question-and-answer session.
“This is your chance to not only learn more about the programs and services we offer at the John J. Pershing VA Medical Center, but also to let us know about the things that matter most to you,” said Interim Medical Center Director James Warren.
Several outreach booths will be available, offering important information to Veterans on things like the Veterans Benefits Administration, VA’s Women Veterans Program, Veteran Transportation Network, Center for Development and Civic Engagement/Voluntary Services, Minority Veterans, and more. Additionally, several Veteran service organizations will have representatives present.
For Veterans who need them, tetanus and pneumonia vaccinations also will be available on-site during the event.
Light refreshments will be available throughout the event.
