The James E. Van Zandt VA Medical Center, partnering with Conemaugh Health System, proudly announce a Veterans Day Ceremony. The ceremony will recognize our nation’s heroes who served their country, while emphasizing a continued commitment to providing the best care for them.

Holding this ceremony, open for Veterans and the community, is a demonstration of how both the VA and Conemaugh are dedicated to this region’s Veterans and their overall wellbeing.

“It is essential that we honor the heroes who served our country,” said Sigrid Andrew, VA Medical Center Director, “our greatest duty is ensuring they are always provided the best possible healthcare. Partnerships with organizations that share our commitment to Veterans, such as Conemaugh Health System, assure that Veteran care is always a top priority in our community.”

The VA and Conemaugh have a long history of partnering to provide health care and other services to our nation’s heroes. They’ve hosted joint initiatives to place a special emphasis on hiring Veterans, emphasizing women’s health, and increasing services.

“Conemaugh Health System has a great working partnership with the James E Van Zandt VA Medical Center,” said William Caldwell, Market President for Conemaugh Health System, “Together, we are able to provide high quality healthcare for Veterans in our communities.
