What are your health-care concerns?

The American Legion’s System Worth Saving Task Force is currently selecting their focus for the six-month cycle of site visits of VA medical facilities from April to July.

The task force wants to hear from veterans on veterans’ health-care issues and concerns they currently have. To share input on health-care challenges and concerns, please email the Veterans Affairs and Rehabilitation Division at var@legion.org or contact it by phone at (202) 861-2700.

Created in 2003, The American Legion’s System Worth Saving program was designed to evaluate the timeliness and quality of VA health care. The reports from the VA medical facilities site visits are compiled into a publication for distribution to the White House, Congress and VA leadership and include findings and recommendations to improve the quality of VA health care. Currently, the System Worth Saving Task Force’s focus is on veterans rural health-care programs, and the official report will be available for distribution in May 2012.
