The Wilmington VA recently held a town hall event in Dover, focusing on providing updates on VA health care and resources for veterans and their families. One of the key announcements was the introduction of radiology services at the VA clinic in Dover starting in October, making it more convenient for veterans in the area to access essential care.
In addition, the VA is set to open a prosthetics lab in Wilmington, offering basic fabrication and adjustments to veterans in-house. This new facility is expected to not only provide faster services but also help save money for the VA, allowing them to allocate more resources to benefit all patients.
Veterans who attended the town hall were also given the opportunity to sign up for pharmacogenomics testing and toxic exposure screenings on-site. According to Wilmington VA Medical Center director Vamsee Potluri, the goal is to ensure that veterans have easy access to necessary care and support, regardless of their location.
Furthermore, Kim Butler, the associate director of operations at the Wilmington VA Medical Center, emphasized the importance of toxic exposure screening for veterans. Many veterans may be unaware of their eligibility for such screenings, which can potentially lead to increased benefits and support.
Overall, the town hall provided valuable updates and services to veterans in the Dover area, demonstrating the commitment of the Wilmington VA to improving the health and well-being of those who have served our country.
