密西西比退伍军人医疗中心完成1400英里外展巡回 七城大会把服务送到退伍军人家门口

杰克逊市的G·V·(桑尼)·蒙哥马利退伍军人医疗中心近日完成了2026财年退伍军人大会巡回走访,工作人员带着领导层、服务与资源走遍全州七个社区,行程超过1400英里。巡回覆盖该医疗系统设有社区门诊的七个城市:哈蒂斯堡、默里迪恩、格林维尔、麦库姆、哥伦布、科西阿斯科与纳奇兹,往返里程从142英里到308英里不等。代理执行主任罗兰达·韦布表示,社区门诊是服务全州退伍军人的重要纽带,扩大服务意味着走出医疗中心围墙,把服务带到退伍军人身边。
每站大会上,退伍军人可直接与医疗中心领导对话,咨询初级医疗、社区医疗、参保登记、全人健康、自杀预防与毒物暴露等信息。退伍军人福利管理局、美国退伍军人协会等退伍军人服务组织与地方团体也参与其中。这一医疗系统服务超过5.4万名登记退伍军人,覆盖密西西比州53个县与路易斯安那州三个堂区,数百名退伍军人、家属与社区人士参加了本轮巡回。
Mississippi Veterans Medical Center Completes 1,400-Mile Outreach Tour; Seven-City Town Halls Bring Services to Veterans' Doorsteps
The G.V. (Sonny) Montgomery VA Medical Center in Jackson recently completed its fiscal year 2026 Veterans Town Hall tour, with staff bringing leadership, services, and resources to seven communities across the state, traveling more than 1,400 miles. The tour covered the seven cities where the medical system operates community clinics: Hattiesburg, Meridian, Greenville, McComb, Columbus, Kosciusko, and Natchez, with round trips ranging from 142 to 308 miles. Acting Executive Director Rolanda Webb said community clinics are an important link in serving veterans statewide, and expanding services means stepping outside the medical center's walls and bringing services to veterans. At each town hall, veterans could speak directly with medical center leadership and ask about primary care, community care, enrollment, whole health, suicide prevention, and toxic exposures. The Veterans Benefits Administration, the American Legion, and other veteran service organizations and local groups also took part. The medical system serves more than 54,000 enrolled veterans, covering 53 counties in Mississippi and three parishes in Louisiana, and hundreds of veterans, family members, and community members attended this round of the tour.
