Earlier today, we hosted our Annual Fall Health Seminar and Fair, and it was a resounding success!

Veterans, their family members, caregivers, and staff came together for an enriching day filled with insightful presentations on whole health, balance, and advance directives. Our beautiful rose garden provided the perfect backdrop as attendees explored over 30 VA healthcare resource tables, connecting with experts and gathering valuable information.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who participated and helped make this event special. Together, we're promoting health and well-being in our community.

We're delighted to report that our dedicated outreach team has been busy this week, participating in several community events, including those with Customs and Border Protection, the TRiO Health Expo, and the Pima County Veterans Job Fair. We've assisted over 140 Veterans with valuable VA healthcare resources and information.

The Pima County Veterans Job Fair, organized by the Kino Veterans Workforce Center and sponsored by the American Legion, featured over 40 employers from diverse industries eager to hire Veterans. It was a fantastic opportunity to connect our heroes with meaningful employment while providing support and information about the various services available through SAVAHCS.

Thank you to everyone who participated and made these events successful! Let's continue to support our Veterans and ensure they have access to the resources and opportunities they deserve.

If you or your organization would like us to attend your event and provide VA healthcare resources and information, please email our public affairs office at pao.savahcs@va.gov.

The Soldiers' Angels "Home of the Brave" campaign is a yearly event held to celebrate Veterans Day, during which the organization collaborates to honor Veterans at VA medical centers.

This year, a global network of dedicated volunteers visited SAVAHCS Veteran patients, distributing shirts, hats, bags, coffee, and donuts.

We are so grateful for their commitment to honoring our nation's heroes. Their contributions elevate the spirits of our Veterans and show how much our community cares for them.
