Dublin VA clinic purchases outreach vehicles

From staff reports

DUBLIN — The Dublin VA Medical Center has procured a pair of veteran outreach vehicles for the clinic here.

Dublin VAMC is responsible for veterans in 49 counties — close to a third of the state of Georgia — and many veterans throughout that area are unaware that they may be eligible for VA health care benefits, officials at the clinic said. Also, some Veterans prefer not to drive significant distances to find out what benefits they may be eligible to receive.

The outreach vehicles will remedy those issue by going to many of the medical center’s outlying counties to assist in enrollment and to showcase many of the programs Dublin VAMC provides to our nation’s heroes.

The new vehicles will serve as a proactive tool to reach unenrolled veterans where they are to answer their questions and assist them with eligibility and enrollment.
