Top Line
In August, President Biden signed the Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson Honoring our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics (PACT) Act of 2022. With this act, VA will ensure generations of Veterans—and their survivors—can receive the benefits and care they’ve earned and deserve. I encourage all Veterans and their survivors to apply now for PACT Act benefits.
Flu season is upon us; don't forget to take time to get your free flu shot, either at the VA or at one of 70,000 in-network pharmacies or urgent care locations.
As always, thanks for reading this edition of Quarterly REMINDER!
Sincerely,
Ralph T. Gigliotti, FACHE
