State Veterans Homes are critical partners in meeting the needs of Veterans. I was honored to join their conference last week to talk about the future of long-term care at VA and how we can continue to work together to best serve those who have served.

Rural veterans deserve top-notch facilities close to home. This new VA clinic in Lewistown is a big win for Fergus County veterans, and I look forward to seeing it open its doors and improve veterans' access to care as soon as possible. helenair.com/news/local/mon…

At the American Legion National Convention last week, I shared our progress in caring for more Veterans who have served our great nation. This progress gives me hope & optimism about welcoming more into VA care. Thanks to our partnerships, Veterans are trusting VA for their care.

Veterans often put others first and may find it tough to ask for help themselves. If you are struggling with food insecurity, help is available at VA. Do not wait until hunger strikes – reach out to your nearest VA facility for support. nutrition.va.gov/Food_Insecurit… #HungerActionMonth
