VA Medical Center announces Rhinelander town hall

In a push to strengthen ties with local veterans, the Oscar G. Johnson VA Medical Center will hit the road in February for a series of town halls across Wisconsin and Michigan's Upper Peninsula.

The three-day tour, running Feb. 12-14, will bring VA leadership directly to veterans in five communities, including Rhinelander, offering face-to-face discussions about healthcare services, benefits, and program updates.

“These aren’t just meetings — they’re a chance for real conversation,” said John P. Shealey, Medical Center Director. “Whether you’re currently enrolled in VA health care or not, we want to hear from you.”

The Rhinelander meeting is scheduled for 5 p.m. Feb. 12 at VFW Post 3143 (120 W. Park St.).

County Veterans Service Officers will join VA Medical Center leadership at each stop, ready to answer questions about benefits and services. Veterans’ family members and community stakeholders are encouraged to attend.
