Lovell Federal Health Care Center to hold next patient tele-town hall June 3
The Captain James A. Lovell Federal Health Care Center in North Chicago will host the next Community Tele-Town Hall will be 1 to 2 p.m. Thursday, June 3. All are invited to participate.
This tele-town hall is targeted at those who are caregivers for veterans and service members, to learn about important changes to the VA's Caregiver Support Program. However, this also is an opportunity for all to get the latest COVID-19 updates and learn about FHCC health care and other services. Lovell FHCC Director Dr. Robert Buckley and Deputy Director/Commanding Officer Capt. Thomas Nelson will lead the town hall.
The tele-town hall format is similar to a radio talk show. Participants receive an automated call prior to the start of the town hall asking them to join. Then they may provide their question to a screener and are placed in the queue to potentially ask their question live. Participants who aren't called on and/or can't listen to the entire call may leave voice mails with their questions. All questions left on voice mail during and after the call will be answered.
Current Lovell FHCC patients, as well as participants in the FHCC Caregiver Support program, will receive an automated call the day before, and immediately before the start of the tele-town hall, inviting them to participate. Others who want to ensure they can participate should send their phone numbers to FHCC.Feedback@va.gov by 5 p.m. Tuesday, June 1.
