It has been brought to the attention of the Oscar G. Johnson, VA Medical Center leadership team that somewhere in the VA system Veterans have received calls offering to assist them with enrollment and scheduling appointments in exchange for money. The VA will never charge you for assistance in enrolling in VA healthcare. The VA will never charge a Veteran money to assist them in scheduling an appointment. If you suspect the person you are talking to is a scammer, hang up and contact your local VA Medical Center to verify the information.

Happy Presidents Day! Although initially created to celebrate George Washington and Abraham Lincoln’s respective birthdays, we now take this day to celebrate and reflect upon the legacies of all presidents throughout American history.
