CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Tennessee Valley Healthcare System (TVHS) is inviting men and women who have separated from any military service within the last five years to participate in a focus group Wednesday, June 12 from 11:00 a.m. to noon at its Clarksville VA clinic at 782 Weatherly Drive.
TVHS leaders will use feedback from this focus group to improve the services offered to recently-separated Veterans. Topics of discussion will include enrollment, billing, medical and mental health care, as well as open-ended questions about making the VA better for transitioning Veterans.
“The TVHS vision is to provide the right services at the right time for the right reason,” said Shawn Richardson, TVHS transition and care management program manager. “We want feedback from Veterans to ensure we’re doing that, and to help us tailor our efforts to improve our services.”
All Veterans who served on active duty at any time after 9/11/2001 and transitioned to the VA for care are invited to attend the focus group. Veterans do not need to be enrolled in care at the Clarksville clinic to participate.
To find out more, contact Shawn Richardson at 615-427-3700.
