VA sets town hall meeting, flu clinics

VA Butler Healthcare will host a town hall meeting at 5 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 21, in the conference room of the Clarion County Community-Based Outpatient Clinic. The clinic is located at 56 Clarion Plaza, Suite 115, Monroe Township.

The purpose of the meeting is to solicit feedback on VA operations, as well as provide the opportunity to be updated on current events at VA Butler. VA staff will be on hand to listen to veterans and their families, and provide Veterans with eligibility and enrollment information, as well as other health care program information.

Town hall meetings will be held quarterly and offered at different times and locations to accommodate as many people as possible.
