On Saturday, April 20, 2024, the VA San Diego Healthcare System hosts an event to share a variety of information and resources with Veterans in Imperial County. The event takes place between 11:00am and 1:00pm in Veterans Memorial Hall, 247 S Imperial Ave, Imperial, CA 92251.
Several stations will be available to assist Veterans.

The PACT Act is the largest expansion of Veteran health care and benefits in decades. This event is part of VA’s broader efforts to ensure that every eligible Veteran and survivor receives the health care and benefits they have earned.
We strongly encourage all Veterans, their families, caregivers, and survivors to register in advance for the event with an email to SDCVAMCPublicAffairs@va.gov. Just let us know that you’ll be there and feel free to ask any questions in advance.
