IRON MOUNTAIN -- Veterans, their families and community members can meet with Oscar G. Johnson VA Medical Center leaders during seven town halls scheduled across northern Wisconsin and the western Upper Peninsula from Dec. 8-10.
The sessions will give attendees an opportunity to ask questions, share concerns and get information about VA health care and benefits. Veterans who aren't enrolled in VA health care are welcome, along with their family members and members of the public.
"These meetings are a chance for us to hear directly from veterans and understand what matters to them," said John P. Shealey, medical center director. "We want people to leave with clear information about the care and support available through VA, and to know how to get answers to questions that come up."
