The Secretary and his entourage are at the Lebanon VAMC for a ribbon cutting ceremony at 1:00. Any Vet's here now watch for him and tell him of any issues you have or have witnessed staff has done. His cell phone number is [login to see]

I wish I could be there! I am a patient at the Lebanon VAMC. I have nothing but good thing to say about that place, and the staff that have worked with me in the past 2 years. Of course there is issues, but in the overall VA book, Lebanon is one of the best out there. Count your stars that you get seen there, and not in the cattle herding places, like Philly or Baltimore.

Another reason why I wish I was there, is I was apart of the project that they are doing the ribbon cutting on- when I worked there in 2013-2014. It's pretty amazing, and puts in rural central PA, for Veterans, more state modernized equipment and a whole new surgical wing. IT'S BEAUTIFUL!! I wish I still had my pictures of when I helped installed some of the equipment...

No, but would have liked to. For every veteran I referred to Lebanon, I know of no one who is dissatisfied. I used to volunteer there with the Lancaster County Detachment of the Marine Corps League and miss the fun we had there.
