HELENA— Montana VA has announced a virtual women Veterans town hall will take place this Friday, Sept. 9, at 5 p.m.
To join the conversation, veterans can call 833-560-2071 or livestream the townhall at http://www.access.live/MontanaVAWomenVets or from Montana VA’s Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/VAMontana .
“Women are the fasting growing demographic of Veterans within the VA, and Montana VA Health Care System (Montana VA) is honored to serve these American heroes,” said MTVAHCS Executive Director Judy Hayman, Ph.D. “The town hall will spotlight all the services available to Montana’s women veterans and provide veterans a chance to ask any questions. We are excited for the feedback, engagement, and conversations that these town halls provide. We hope women veterans from across Montana can join.”
Montana VA serves more than 4,000 women veterans. Each Montana VA primary care provider has national credentials specifically to provide women’s health care and Montana VA has numerous programs specifically to support women veterans.
The town hall will provide an overview of health care services and resources, including information on reproductive and fertility services, breast and cervical cancer screenings, services for survivors of military sexual assault and intimate partner violence, and resources and services for transgender veterans.
The second part of the town hall is held for veterans’ questions. Representatives from Montana VA and Veterans Benefits Administration will be available to provide answers.

One third of Montana VA employees are veterans. Veterans can connect to their VA health care records, information, and message their VA care teams 24 hours a day through the MyHealtheVet patient portal at https://www.myhealth.va.gov/mhv-portal-web/how-to-use-mhv .
