PRESS RELEASE
November 2, 2022
Sheridan , WY — The Sheridan Veterans Affairs Health Care System invites Veterans, their families and caregivers to a live, telephone town hall Tuesday, Nov. 8 at 5 p.m. to hear about the recently signed PACT Act legislation.
The information will be presented by VA leadership from the Sheridan and Cheyenne VA Health Care Systems, plus the Veterans Benefits Administration. Many Veterans enrolled in the VA will receive automated calls informing them of the event the day prior (Nov. 7) and then one to join it at the event time on Nov. 8. However, ANYONE can join by calling 833-380-0708 on Nov. 8 at 5 p.m.
The PACT Act is a new law that expands VA health care and benefits for Veterans exposed to burn pits and other toxic substances. It was named in honor of Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson, a decorated combat medic who died from a rare form of lung cancer. This historic legislation will help deliver more timely benefits and services to more than 5 million veterans—across all generations—who may have been impacted by toxic exposures while serving our country.
