👩‍⚕️ About the Event:
For the first time, the Oscar G. Johnson VA Medical Center is hosting healthcare enrollment events just for women Veterans! Our all-women outreach and enrollment team will be there to answer your questions, explain your options, and help you access the benefits and care you’ve earned.

Thanks to the PACT Act (2022), VA healthcare eligibility has expanded—so if you were previously denied or aren’t sure if you qualify, now’s the time to check. New benefits include:
• Free hearing aids and eyeglasses
• Lower-cost healthcare
• Affordable medication co-pays (as low as $8, capped at $33 monthly)
• Some Veterans may pay nothing at all
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Who Can Attend:
All women Veterans and their families are welcome! We’ll have free on-site childcare, so you can focus on enrollment and exploring your benefits.
❓ What to Bring:
• DD214
• Last year’s income information
• Marriage date (if married)
• Birthdates & Social Security numbers for any dependents
📞 Questions?

Call our Public Affairs Office at 906-774-3300 ext. 32001 or visit the VA Iron Mountain News Releases page.

✅ Spread the Word!
Please share this event with any women Veterans you know. Let’s make sure every Veteran has access to the care and support she deserves.
We look forward to seeing you there!
