🌟 A Heartfelt Thank You! 🌟

The Chillicothe VA wants to extend our deepest gratitude to the First Church of the Nazarene in Jackson, Ohio and Michael Perkins for their incredible generosity. Their large donations of winter coats, hats, and socks will go a long way in helping our Veterans stay warm and comfortable throughout the winter season.

Thank you, Michael, and everyone at the church, for your continued support and kindness. Your generosity truly makes a difference in the lives of those who have served our country.

Together, we’re making this winter a little brighter for our Veterans!

Is there snow on the ground? Yes.
Has Old Man Winter graced us with his presence? Also yes.
Is that going to stop us from honoring our Vets tomorrow for our 3rd Annual VetFest? Absolutely not!

Come see us from 10am to 2pm, with our ceremony at 11am!

You know you were going to get out in the weather anyway ;)

Have you heard about our new mascot, Ehrnie?

Ehrnie the Eagle is guiding our facility through the new Federal Electronic Health Record Modernization! The new, common Federal EHR will provide a single, accurate, lifetime health record for Veterans and include their health records from the Department of Defense (DoD), U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), and other federal partners. For Veterans, this will result in improved standardization of health care delivery, patient care quality, and safety. The modernized EHR also supports a more coordinated experience for VA staff and clinicians as they care for Veterans and will improve interoperability with the rest of the American health care system.

Ehrnie is making his rounds to the different community VA clinics sharing information about our new system, set to go live on June 6th, 2026!
