Top Line
I hope each of you had a wonderful Independence Day!
As the subject of this release of Quarterly REMINDER states, we're celebrating a few of VA's newest and seasoned facilities and their fusion into the communities we have the privilege to serve. In July, we'll recognize five years at our flagship location, Rocky Mountain Regional VA Medical Center (VAMC) in Aurora (CO), and then in September, we will honor the centennial anniversary of the Jack C. Montgomery VAMC in Muskogee (OK).
Beyond these events, music therapy is in full force in Eastern Oklahoma, virtual reality is proving its worth in Sheridan, The BLUF is a new video series we're producing weekly, and we're gearing up for Summer VetFest / PACT Act events in all of our states.
Finally, I'm looking forward to meeting many of our Members of Congress and their staff in Washington, DC later this month.
As always, thanks for reading this edition of Quarterly REMINDER!
Sincerely,
Sunaina Kumar-Giebel
Network Director
