About the PACT Act
The PACT Act is a historic expansion of VA healthcare and benefits for Veterans exposed to burn pits, Agent Orange, and other toxic substances. This law offers access to care and benefits for thousands of Veterans who may not have previously qualified. The event is an opportunity for Veterans to learn more about the PACT Act and how it may apply to them.

“We are committed to ensuring every Veteran has access to the care and benefits they’ve earned,” said Lawrence Connell, Director of the VA Providence Healthcare System. “This outreach event is an important step in helping Veterans and their families understand and access the resources available to them.”

Veterans of all eras are encouraged to attend. Please bring a copy of your DD-214, if available.
