Representatives from the Wilmington VA Medical Center (VAMC) and Philadelphia Veterans Benefits Administration invite Veterans to attend a Benefits Resource Fair and Veteran Town Hall meeting on Sept. 21. The Resource Fair will be held from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. at the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 386, 419 Congress Str., Cape May, N.J.

Representatives from the medical center will be on-hand to help Veterans enroll for health care. For Veterans who are already enrolled in the VA for their health care, VA staff will be able to explain programs like MyHealtheVet, prescription drug benefits, the Veterans Choice Program and more.

Veteran Town Hall meetings are being held at least quarterly and offered at different times and locations to accommodate as many people as possible.
