The Carl Vinson VA Medical Center will host a quarterly town hall meeting at the facility’s auditorium for Veterans, their families and other stakeholders on September 11th at 6 p.m. to discuss the strategic plan moving forward to include major construction projects and a Whole Health approach to care.

According to the Medical Center Director, David Whitmer, the medical center holds quarterly town hall meetings and twice per year at each of the six community-based outpatient clinics for Veterans and stakeholders to ensure they have a regular forum to keep them updated on VA’s developments.  For Veterans or stakeholders unable to attend in person, the town hall will be broadcast on Facebook Live, questions will be taken online, and be archived video will be available at https://www.facebook.com/VADublin/

“Town halls are a great way for me to hear the voice of the Veteran, learn from their perspective, and make adjustments in how we delivery healthcare,” Whitmer said. “Our leadership team has prepared a draft of our five-year strategic plan and an annual set of goals and measurable objectives to present to our Veterans.  The purpose of the town hall is to get input from those we serve before we finalize our strategic plan and start its implementation in Fiscal Year 2020.”

Tables will be set up with information on VA and medical center programs.
