GRANITE QUARRY — The rural health program from the W.G. (Bill) Hefner VA Medical Center will provide Veterans Administration information and services at American Legion Post 448, 300 Legion Street, Granite Quarry, from 5 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Thursday.
The team will provide former and current military members education and assistance on registration and health care concerns. VA health care provides numerous services for women veterans. Women veterans are encouraged to attend to learn what VA offers.
Former military members who are not currently enrolled for VA health care benefits will need to bring a copy of their DD Form 214 — Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty — to attach to their application for VA health care benefits. Please bring a copy, not the original DD Form 214.
If you have lost your DD Form 214, you can request a copy from www.archives.gov/veterans/military-service-records/
VA personnel will assist in completing enrollment applications, requesting DD Form 214s, and initiating MyHealtheVet online services.
For more information, contact the rural health program office at 1-800-469-8262, ext. 4958, 4960 or 4962, or log on to www.salisbury.va.gov
