If you're one of an estimated 2.2 million women Veterans in the U.S., we want you to know that VA is continually enhancing facilities, training staff and improving access to services to meet your needs.
If you served in any branch of the U.S. military, you may have earned VA health care benefits and be eligible for other VA benefits that can help you buy a home, earn a degree, advance your career, and do more in life after the military.
You can learn more during the #ExploreVA Facebook Chat with representatives from VA and Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) on Tuesday, March 22, at 2 p.m. EDT. Click the button below below or visit our event page to register for event reminders.
During the hour-long Facebook Chat you can:

VA Southern Nevada Healthcare System Supporters,

Southern Nevada was selected by the Department of Veterans Affairs as one of 15 locations nationwide to host a FREE "Miracles for Heroes" Concert Tour featuring The Motown Miracles.

The concert will be at the Green Valley Ranch Resort and Casino, 6 p.m. March 20 and it is an opportunity to say thank you and give back to those who have served and continue to serve our nation (as well as family members and others who support our nation's Veterans).

In addition to some timeless entertainment, the goal of the VA-sponsored event is to increase awareness of the VA in the community.  As such, prior to the concert (from 5-6 p.m.), the VA and other Veterans and Veterans Support Organizations will be on hand to provide information on various support services.

Tickets are available on a first-come, first-served basis and information on how to RSVP is provided below (If you are unable to attend, there is no need to reply back).

We would be honored if you or any of your fellow Veterans can join us for this free event.  If you have any questions about the event, please call VASNHS Voluntary Service 702-791-9134.

Please see the attached information on VA Pharmacy changes. 



Comrades,
Additional info on VA Pharmacy changes, please read and pass along to your membership, this info was provided at the State Commanders Advisory Council meeting.
R. Walker
Adj.



This document (6 pages) has important information for any vet using the VA Pharmacy.  2 subjects:  first is Fact Sheet (2 pages) second is Questions (4 pages).

There is a significant change in the way prescriptions are handled at the Primary Care Clinics.  One concern was what happens if a vet needs same day or emergency meds.  That is answered on page 2 of the QUESTIONS document. 

Again, would you please distribute using your distribution list?

Thanks

Veterans in need of urgent health care can visit any VA medical center this Saturday, February 27 from 9 AM to noon local time. Hundreds of volunteers from the VA medical community and its federal, local and academic partners will be on hand to provide on the spot care or to schedule care in the near future.
Before visiting a center, veterans should contact their Patient Aligned Care Team (PACT) with questions and to verify that their condition is considered urgent.
This is the VA's second National Access Stand Down for vets waiting too long for care.
