Montana VA to hold veterans' town hall online Thursday

Mar. 18—Veterans are invited to join Montana VA virtually for a town hall 5-6 p.m. on Thursday to discuss updates on policies, programs and services.

This town hall will discuss a variety of issues from travel benefits, mental health resources, the new PACT Act expansion (www.va.gov/PACT), and more.

Duane Gill, Montana VA's interim executive director, will host and discuss how policies and programs have evolved and answer questions from veterans.

"We are looking forward to updating Montana veterans on our latest policies and programs," said Gill.

The town hall conversation is accessible virtually either by calling in or livestreaming. To join, veterans and their families should call in at 866-478-3358 or livestream the townhall at www.access.live/MontanaVATownHall or from Montana VA's Facebook page.

Program experts will share overviews of their services and resources for the first section of the town hall. The final 30 minutes are reserved for a question and answer period.

Montana VA Health Care System serves over 47,000 enrolled veterans across Montana with a staff of 1,400 at 18 sites of care across the state.
