Chattanooga VA Clinic holds spring community event

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – Veterans and community members are invited to attend the first-ever Chattanooga VA Spring Expo April 12 from 3 – 6 p.m. located at 6401 Shallowford Rd.

Veterans and their families will be treated to live music, dozens of local food and business vendors, and prize giveaways. All attendees will have an opportunity to learn about VA services and programs, enroll in VA health care, and connect with Veteran Service Organizations and community groups.

“We’re ready to have a good time with some good people,” Chattanooga VA Clinic Manager Dr. Craig Anderson said. “The event is all about connecting Veterans and their families to VA resources and services and bringing our community together. We want Veterans to know VA and our community partners are here for them.”
