Lovell Federal Health Care Center to hold next patient tele-town hall July 8
Evanston Community Based Outpatient Clinic patients, families, invited to participate
NORTH CHICAGO, Ill. - The Captain James A. Lovell Federal Health Care Center's next Community Tele-Town Hall will be at 1 p.m., July 8. Although this town hall will be targeted at patients of Lovell FHCC's Evanston Community Based Outpatient Clinic, all are invited to participate.
In addition to getting updates on services at the Evanston CBOC, this tele-town hall also is a chance for patients and caregivers to learn about Lovell FHCC health care and other services and get information about COVID-19 vaccines. 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 like 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 questions to a screener before being 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. All questions left on voice mail will be answered.
Current Evanston CBOC patients 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., July 6.
