The Marion VA Health Care System and VFW District 15 will host a PACT ACT Town Hall this weekend.

The PACT ACT is a new law that expands VA health care and benefits for Veterans exposed to burn pits, Agent Orange, and other toxic substances.

Veterans, family members and caregivers can learn more about this new law and how it impacts all Veterans. Marion VA Executive Director Zach Sage will be the key speaker along with staff from the VA Regional Office based out of St. Louis and multiple program staff from the Marion VA Health Care System and Owensboro VA Clinic.

The Town Hall will be at Murphysboro High School this Saturday 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
