Attention Veterans!
FRAUD WARNING!
Veterans around the country are reporting that they are getting calls
from a company identifying itself as the “Patient Care Group.”
This company is claiming that VA prescriptions are now being dispensed
through them and that if veterans want to continue to properly
receive their medications, they must provide a credit card number.
VA has NOT changed the process of receiving and dispensing prescriptions.
DO NOT GIVE YOUR
CREDIT CARD NUMBER
TO ANYONE WHO CALLS YOU!
Please contact your local VA Medical Center
if you have questions about VA prescriptions or services.
Don't Forget to Feed The PIG.
A sincere "Thank You!" to those who feed the
pig at our monthly meetings.
The proceeds from the pig go to the Hospital
Fund and Bobby Nelson Fund.
The Hospital Fund is used to provide certain amenities and niceties
that our brothers and/or their dependents, in various hospitals, would
otherwise be unable to secure.
The Bobby Nelson Fund ensures that our brothers and sisters in
Tomah VA Hospital will receive at least 1 gift on Christmas.
Thanks, and lets keep "Feeding the PIG"!
