Clarksville Summer VetFest
VA Tennessee Valley Healthcare System (TVHS) will host a Summer VetFest July 25 at the Wilma Rudolph Event Center in Clarksville. The event will be held at 8 Champion’s Way from 2 – 6 p.m. CT.
The event will highlight the PACT Act, a law passed in 2022 that expands VA health care and benefits for Veterans exposed to burn pits, Agent Orange, and other toxic substances. Under new criteria announced in March, all Veterans who were exposed to toxins and other hazards while serving our country – at home or abroad – are now eligible to enroll directly in VA health care. During the Clarksville VA Summer VetFest, eligible Veterans will be able to:
• Learn about the expanded PACT Act benefits.
• Initiate a claim with Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) representatives and ask questions about claims.
• Enroll in VA health care and learn about additional VA programs.
A speaking engagement featuring representatives from TVHS and VBA Nashville Regional Office will be held at 4 p.m. CT. The following VA programs will be available during the PACT Act Resource Fair:
Veterans Benefits Administration, VA health care eligibility and enrollment, Suicide Prevention Program, Caregiver Support Program, and more!
