Jesse Brown VA Medical Center hosted a virtual Veteran town hall that focused on health care issues and services for LGBTQ+ Veterans on June 24. This was the first time Jesse Brown has hosted a Veteran town hall specifically on LGBTQ+ topics.

Veterans were able to participate by calling in the town hall by calling in, listening online through a dedicated website, or through the Jesse Brown Facebook page. Participants were able to ask questions that were answered by the moderators and medical center leadership team.

Veterans and others can still visit the Jesse Brown Facebook page to listen to the town hall.
