American Legion System Worth Saving visit in August includes a town hall where veterans can share their experiences at the Captain James A. Lovell Federal Health Care Center.
The American Legion’s System Worth Saving (SWS) team is heading to Chicago in early August to conduct a town hall, meet with local VA staff and work toward solutions to ensure that area veterans are receiving the best health care possible.
All local military veterans are invited to attend the town hall and share their experiences with the VA. During the event, American Legion representatives, VA staff and others will be on hand to address issues and questions raised by veterans related to their health-care experiences at the Lovell health care center.
The town hall, which takes place from 6-9 p.m. August 4, will be held at American Legion Post Gurnee Post 771, 749 Milwaukee Ave., Gurnee, Ill. 60031. The event is free. No prior registration or RSVP is necessary.
Each year, the Legion’s Veterans Affairs & Rehabilitation Commission conducts a series of site visits to VA medical facilities and regional offices across the country. While on site, American Legion representatives meet with veterans, their families and VA administrators and employees to discuss issues and solutions at each site. These observations are compiled into a System Worth Saving report that is distributed to VA officials, members of Congress and the public.
