The Marion VA Medical Center will hold a Veterans Town Hall at 5:30 pm, Monday December 15, in the hospitals Rec Hall at 2401 W. Main Street in Marion.
Officials said senior leadership and other subject-matter experts from the local VA hospital and benefits offices will be present to improve communication with and hear directly from veterans and their families.
VA also welcomes input from congressional stakeholders, veteran service organizations, non-governmental organizations and other community partners at the meeting.
Caring for Veterans is a calling, and our first commitment is to provide veterans and their families the timely, quality care and benefits they have earned and deserve through their service to our nation, said Secretary of Veterans Affairs Robert McDonald. As we seek continual improvement and to rebuild trust among veterans, it is critical that we continue to listen and learn directly from those who use our system.
Secretary McDonald informed the Under Secretaries of Health and Benefits that each VA medical center and regional office should hold quarterly town hall meetings.
