The National VA2K is an event supporting Veterans who are homeless and encouraging healthy physical activity for employees. This event allows participants to support homeless Veterans by coming together the day of the event and through voluntary donations of basic housing supplies and equipment, and monetary donations. The Healthcare for Homeless Veterans Program (HCHV) assists the homeless and low-income Veteran population with housing, legal and treatment referral resources. Whole Health at Lebanon VA is inviting you to participate in a free, VA2K walk & roll which includes a short two-kilometer (1.24 miles) mapped route. Along the route participants may stop at Whole Health stations along the way to explore and experience each area of our VA Whole Health Healthcare System.
Welcome event at 12:15 outside building 1.
