The VA Loma Linda Healthcare System is hosting Veteran Orientation sessions on the third Friday of the month. The next informational session will take place Feb. 21 at 1 p.m. in the auditorium at the Jerry L. Memorial VA Medical Center in Loma Linda, Calif. Additional meetings will be held March 21 and April 18, also at 1 p.m. in the Medical Center Auditorium. Each presentation will be the same, so interested Veterans need only attend one session. The Veteran Orientations will provide all interested Veterans – whether they are enrolled in VA health care or not – with information about benefits eligibility, health care, housing, mental health, and many other programs offered by VA. No RSVP is required. Refreshments will be served. Veterans who are not currently enrolled in VA health care can apply for enrollment at any time. Applications are accepted online at www.va.gov/healthbenefits/enroll, by phone at 877-222-VETS, by mail, or in person at a VA medical facility. The Jerry L. Pettis Memorial VA Medical Center is the centerpiece of the VA Loma Linda Healthcare System. Opened in 1977, it is located ½ mile from its major affiliate, Loma Linda University. The VA Loma Linda Healthcare System is one of the top 25 employers in the Inland Empire. With approximately 2,500 employees and more than 1,000 volunteers, it serves more than 67,000 Veterans who entrust their health care needs to VA for a wide variety of services through inpatient and outpatient care. VA provides primary care and mental health at outpatient clinics located in Blythe, Corona, Palm Desert, Murrieta, Rancho Cucamonga and Victorville.
