PVA TESTIFIES IN FRONT OF CONGRESS

In June, over 100 PVA members and staff gathered in Washington, DC to advocate for PVA's policy priorities. We met one-on-one with Senators and Representatives, and PVA National President Robert Thomas and CEO Carl Blake testified about the challenges that PVA members face when seeking care and benefits.

We are proud to advocate for our members, who deserve nothing but the best treatment.
