MITCHELL TO TOUR PHOENIX VA HOSPITAL
WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Rep. Harry Mitchell will tour the Carl T. Hayden VA Medical Center in Phoenix this Sunday, March 18 at 2 p.m.
"As we learn about some of the problems in the VA system across the country, it's important to see what capabilities our local facilities have," said Mitchell.
Patrick F. Chorpenning, the Director of the Arizona Department of Veterans' Services, will join him on the tour.
Mitchell serves on the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs, and is the Chairman of the Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee.
Last month, Mitchell introduced the Dignity for Wounded Warriors Act of 2007, which will help returning troops and eliminate the red tape so many encounter when they return home.
I'm not sure this is a 'general public' kind of event so much as a 'hospitalized veterans' event, though if you happen to know a veteran who's in the hospital and has a concern that he or she would like to bring to the attention of Harry or Mr. Chorpenning, you might want to give them a heads-up.
For more info, contact Congressman Mitchell's district office at 480.946.2411.
Later!
