Getting the Help You Need with a VA Social Worker

Former military service members and their families are invited to attend these one-on-one sessions with a VA social worker to get answers related to healthcare, benefits, and more.

The Veterans Healthcare System of the Ozarks invites all former military service members, their families and friends to discuss community resources. Get answers to your questions related to healthcare, benefits and more with a social worker from the VA. If you or someone you know is curious about benefits allocated based on personal or a family member’s veteran status, please take advantage of this opportunity.
