MONROE COUNTY VETERANS AFFAIRS WILL COHOST TOWN HALL MEETINGS REGARDING RECENT LEGISLATION IMPACTS ON LOCAL VETERANS

KEY LARGO and KEY WEST, FL – Monroe County Veterans Affairs and the Miami VA Healthcare System will cohost two town hall meetings regarding the Mission Act. The first meeting will be Thursday, July 18 at 2 p.m. at Murray Nelson Government Center in Key Largo and the second meeting will be held Friday, July 19 at 10 a.m. at Harvey Government Center in Key West.

The meetings will identify eligibility for community care, who the providers are in Monroe County, the efforts to increase providers in Monroe County, and how new legislation impacts veterans in Monroe County.

“This is an opportunity for not only our veterans to ask questions about VA healthcare, but also for local medical providers wanting to participate as caregivers to make inquiries as well,” said Cathy Crane, Director of Monroe County Veterans Affairs.

The Mission Act strengthens veterans affairs’ ability to deliver trusted, easy access, high-quality care through facilities, telehealth, and in communities, providing care for veterans where and when they need them.
