BALTIMORE — The Veterans of Foreign Wars Auxiliary Department of Maryland recently donated $6,000 to the Veterans Affairs (VA) Maryland Health Care System to benefit veteran patients throughout the state.
The donation will directly support veterans who receive their care at the Baltimore, Loch Raven, and Perry Point VA Medical Centers.
Thanks to the support of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Auxiliary Department of Maryland, veterans throughout the state will have access to creative arts resources, transportation services, adaptive sports equipment, holiday gifts, supplies for new and expecting mothers, and equipment for inpatient care units.
“The continued support from the Veterans of Foreign Wars Auxiliary Department of Maryland makes it possible for us to enhance the services and programs we provide to veterans,” said Jonathan R. Eckman, director of the VA Maryland Health Care System. “It also sends an important message to our veteran patients that their service in the armed forces has not been forgotten.”
The VA Maryland Health Care System is dedicated to providing safe, quality, and compassionate care to more than 58,000 veterans in Central Maryland and on Maryland’s Eastern Shore.
Under the new PACT Act, millions of veterans are now eligible for VA health care. With this recent change, all veterans are encouraged to apply for VA health care by calling 877-222-8387 Monday through Friday between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. or by visiting www.va.gov/PACT.
