Is there snow on the ground? Yes.
Has Old Man Winter graced us with his presence? Also yes.
Is that going to stop us from honoring our Vets tomorrow for our 3rd Annual VetFest? Absolutely not!

Come see us from 10am to 2pm, with our ceremony at 11am!

You know you were going to get out in the weather anyway ;)

Have you heard about our new mascot, Ehrnie?

Ehrnie the Eagle is guiding our facility through the new Federal Electronic Health Record Modernization! The new, common Federal EHR will provide a single, accurate, lifetime health record for Veterans and include their health records from the Department of Defense (DoD), U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), and other federal partners. For Veterans, this will result in improved standardization of health care delivery, patient care quality, and safety. The modernized EHR also supports a more coordinated experience for VA staff and clinicians as they care for Veterans and will improve interoperability with the rest of the American health care system.

Ehrnie is making his rounds to the different community VA clinics sharing information about our new system, set to go live on June 6th, 2026!

REMINDER - Happening this THURSDAY

The Chillicothe VA wants to extend our deepest gratitude to VFW District 12 and Boy Scout Troop 50 from Albany, Ohio, for their incredible visit this past Saturday. Your generosity in serving chili, beans, cornbread, snack cakes, and drinks to 130 veterans truly made a difference. The veterans enjoyed the delicious food, friendly visits, and the spirit of community you brought with you.

Also, we would like to sincerely thank American Legion Post 476, Wilkesville, Ohio, for their generous donation to our Veterans Clothing Closet. Your support is vital in helping us provide clothing and necessary items to those who have served our country.

Your kindness and effort brightened everyone’s day and helped create meaningful connections at the Chillicothe VA. Thank you so much for taking the time to support and uplift our Veterans—you are appreciated more than words can say!

This past Friday we held our Together for Hope concert to raise awareness for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

We would like to thank VFW Department of Ohio, American Legion Auxiliary Department of Ohio, and Disabled American Veterans for their support and sponsorship to put on events like this one for our Veterans and breast cancer survivors.

Also, Elvis rocked it.
