The Oscar G. Johnson VA Medical Center will be hosting town halls at VFW Post 6165 in South Range at 1 p.m. on Tuesday, November 27, and at 4 p.m. the same day at Grant Township Town Hall in Copper Harbor.

“These town halls are not limited to those who use our services. We welcome any Veterans and their families who may not be enrolled in VA health care to come and learn about its services and benefits,” said Brad Nelson, Public Affairs Officer at the Iron Mountain-based VA Medical Center.
Leaders from the VA Medical Center, Michigan Veterans Affairs Agency, and area County Veteran Service Offices will be on hand to provide a presentation on VA’s new initiatives and programs, such as VA’s new Whole Health Program, and answer any questions regarding VA health care.
“For those already enrolled and using VA healthcare, it will provide them the opportunity to learn about services they were not aware of and to provide us feedback on the care we provide,” added Nelson.
Any questions can be directed to VA Public Affairs Officer Brad Nelson (800-215-8262, ext. 32001), Houghton County Veteran Service Office (906-482-0102), or Ontonagon County Veteran Service Office (906-884-6204).
