Today, we proudly connected with Veterans at the Arecibo VA Clinic during a Veteran Outreach focused on access, awareness, and community support.

Veterans received valuable information about VA health care services and programs available to support their well-being, along with direct engagement at information tables from our sister agencies, including the Veterans Benefits Administration, National Cemetery Administration, and Vet Center—ensuring a comprehensive, one-stop opportunity to learn, ask questions, and get connected.

A heartfelt thank you to Disabled American Veterans (DAV) and their Auxiliary Ladies for their generous support in providing snacks and coffee to Veterans in attendance. Your kindness and partnership truly made a difference.

This outreach reflects VA’s unwavering commitment to meeting Veterans where they are—sharing timely, accurate information, promoting enrollment and registration for services, and strengthening trust through collaboration with community partners. Together, we continue to empower Veterans to make informed decisions about their health care, benefits, and earned services.

Stay connected! Veterans and families can learn more about VA services and upcoming outreach opportunities by following our page VA Caribbean Healthcare System and visiting the Events section for future activities.

Our mission remains clear: serving those who served—today and always.
