<![CDATA[Veterans Day Discounts 2021]]> You can move this after veterans get a chance to see it. Not everyone goes to The Barber Shop. Everyone goes to the Football Board.

It's a list of places to get free meals and other discounts which will be updated as they learn of more during the next several days.  

You can go to breakfast, lunch and dinner at 3 different places if you wish. No charge.

And guys....  don't forget IAVA.org... very worthwhile group to lend support to, IMO.

And bless the VA... it can be a bitch to get into (all thanks to a legacy of misaligned information systems), but once in their satisfaction ratings are very good...

July 23, 2020 - Surgical care from Veterans Affairs health facilities is of equal or better quality as that delivered at other local, non-VA healthcare facilities, according to a study conducted by the White River Junction VA Medical Center in partnership with Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center.

This data comes in the midst of a near six-year effort for the VA to revamp its public image, specifically alleviating concerns about patient access to care, long wait times, and clinical care quality and patient safety.

This data also comes as the VA balances its community care benefit as a part of the MISSION Act. The community care access program, which went live in June 2019, aims to connect veterans facing extraordinary care access barriers within the VA with a civilian healthcare provider that can provide acces.

On a one-to-five scale, VA medical centers received a 3.28 in overall ratings, compared to 3.38 ratings for non-VA facilities. VA medical centers received a 2.87 for a summary rating for the overall hospital stay, which was about on par with the 2.92 civilian hospitals received.Jul 23, 2020.
