About this event
Demystifying Veteran Benefits
This presentation will provide a brief overview of the Veterans Health Administration, eligibility, benefits, and health offerings, including Medicare changes for 2025.
In November, we celebrate Veteran’s Day. We would like to take a moment and express a sincere thank you for service to all Village Common RI veterans. As a call to action, we are offering the following presentation to our veteran community and their families: Demystifying Veteran Benefits.
Our two expert panelists, Kim Ferrante from the VA in Providence and Amy Putrino from MediPlans, will be presenting this information and fielding questions afterwards. Please join us!
