Maine VA listening sessions on veteran health care are March 23

AUGUSTA — VA Maine Healthcare System will hold a virtual listening session with stakeholders on Tuesday March 23, to hear from veterans and the communities VA serves.
The session is one of 50 being held across the country from March through June to hear from veterans on how to design a health care system of the future and grow services for veterans “in a way that reinforces VA’s role as a leader in the U.S. health care system.”
“We want to hear from Veterans and other stakeholders in the communities VA serves and understand their vision for VA health care,” said Tracye Davis, medical center director for VA Maine. “VA’s goal is to collaborate closely with Veterans and other stakeholders to build the best VA health care system that meets the needs of Veterans today and for generations to come.”
Feedback from the sessions will be used to develop the recommendations VA submits to the Asset and Infrastructure Review (AIR) Commission in January. The AIR Commission will also conduct public hearings as part of their review of VA’s recommendations before submitting its recommendations to the President and Congress for review and approval in 2023.
