Each year, National Salute to Veteran Patients Week provides an opportunity to pause and recognize the men and women who have served our country and are now receiving care in VA medical centers, clinics, nursing homes, and other care settings.
This observance is dedicated to honoring Veterans for their service and sacrifice, highlighting the essential care provided through VA medical facilities, and encouraging communities to show support through visits, acts of kindness, and volunteer efforts.
Throughout this week, simple gestures such as heartfelt conversations, Valentine distributions, and recognition programs can make a meaningful impact. Together, we can help ensure every Veteran feels seen, valued, and remembered.
We are proud to stand alongside our Veteran patients, their families, and our colleagues who have served. Thank you for your bravery, commitment, and dedication to our nation.
