The American Legion Post 90, Statesboro, announced that on March 18, 2024 a Town Hall for ALL Veterans to better understand what The Veterans Administration (VA) in Augusta is planning for the Statesboro VA Clinic.
“Communications with the VA can sometimes be difficult. This town hall meeting will provide a forum for direct and timely communications between veterans and the VA,” said Gary Martin, Commander of The American Legion Post 90, Statesboro.
Helping local Veterans with their health
Many veterans are experiencing increased difficulty in obtaining in-person care at the Statesboro VA Clinic.
As an interim solution, the VA has implemented a “Telehealth” program which is video conferencing with an assigned remote Primary Care Physician (PCP) from another VA Hospital. The PCP conducts video conferencing healthcare with the assistance of an on-premises nurse in Statesboro.
The executive staff of the Augusta VA Health System will present their plans for staffing and updated plans for a new enlarged clinic to serve the explosive influx of new patients expected in the next four to five years in this area.
Meeting information
The VA Town Hall will take place March 18, 2024 at the American Legion building, located at 100 Rucker Lane, Statesboro. The meeting will start promptly at 6:30 p.m., so please arrive a little early.
