Subcommittee Hearing Brings Congress to
Kansas
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congressman Jerry Moran announced he will chair a
subcommittee field hearing at the Wichita Veterans Affairs Medical Center
on Monday, September 24. As Chairman of the Veterans Subcommittee on
Health, Moran has invited veterans and representatives of the Veterans
Administration to discuss improvements needed in veterans' health care.
"Congress has made improvements in providing veterans with health
care, but we have a long way to go before the care and services promised
to veterans are delivered," Moran said. "This hearing will allow
us to bring more attention to health care issues and better inform
Congress on veterans' health care needs."
The Veterans Health Care Field Hearing will be held on Monday, September
24 from 9:00 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the Wichita Veterans Affairs Medical
Center, 5500 E. Kellogg, Building 4, Auditorium, Wichita. The event is
open to the public.
Moran encourages all Kansas veterans and others interested in veterans'
health care to attend the forum on September 24. Moran will also have
staff available to assist veterans with individual concerns.
"As we look at the possibility of sending our military forces into a
battle situation, we must not forget those who have served in the
past," Moran said. "American Veterans have put their lives on
the line, when serving our country, and we should keep our pledge and
provide adequate and affordable health care. I hope that this forum will
be informative for everyone who attends and will generate better solutions
to VA health care concerns."
