At the Lexington VA Health Care System, our volunteers are more than just helping hands. These dedicated individuals give their time and energy to ensure Veterans and their families receive the best possible care and support.

Whether they’re transporting patients by wheelchair to and from appointments, greeting visitors at our information desks, brewing fresh coffee, distributing snacks, or assisting with administrative tasks, our volunteers make a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve. Their presence brings comfort, their kindness lifts spirits, and their commitment strengthens our community. To all our volunteers: thank you!

If you’re inspired by their service and would like to join our volunteer team, we’d love to hear from you. Together, we can continue to make a difference—one Veteran at a time.

Today is the Great American Smokeout!
The campaign this year is Quit like a Pro. How can you do that? By making use of all VA's to***co use treatment resources. There is a long history of smoking and other to***co use in the military. Many Veterans used to***co while they served, particularly during deployment. Now seven out of every 10 Veterans who smoke would like to quit—for both the physical benefits and their mental health.

If you’re one of those Veterans, or if the Veteran in your life is trying to quit, you’ve come to the right place. VA offers resources for making a quit plan and sticking to it.

Why should you quit? How can you quit? What treatments does VA have? Check out all the resources VA has here.
