The best way to stop lung cancer? Stop smoking. VA can help with that, but people who smoke, even those who have quit, should ask about lung cancer screening. Lung cancer is the deadliest cancer among Veterans and catching it early increases the chance of survival. Learn more about who can be screened and how. Join us at the Manchester VA Medical Center on Tuesday, Nov. 10, for our Lung Cancer Screening and Great American Smokeout Resource Fair at the Mountain Entrance from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. prevention.va.gov/preventing…

Less scroll, more soul. Taking time away from screens can help you reconnect with what matters most: your health, your relationships, and your daily life. Spirit and soul are an important part of your well-being. What helps you reconnect? va.gov/WHOLEHEALTH/circle-of…

Don’t fall for the hook, line, and sinker of a phishing scam, such as an email, link, or false website. Phishing scams involve threat actors posing as legitimate businesses in order to convince victims to hand over passwords, company data, bank details, and other information. Additionally, there are company scams luring Veterans to purchase items then stating VA will reimburse the Veteran. Do not get caught up in those scams either. Any reimbursable items must start with the VA, be requested by the VA, and pre-authorization is needed. Veterans who suspect they have experienced fraud can find out more and report to the appropriate agency at vsafe.gov/ or calling (833) 38V-SAFE.

#Veterans, are you approaching 65 years of age? What you need to know as you approach 65: ⏰Timing matters. Your Medicare enrollment window runs from 3 months before to 3 months after the month you turn 65. Missing it can mean a lifelong penalty on your Part B premium. If you have missed yours, ask Social Security about a Special or General Enrollment Period. 🏥VA is its own system. There is no enrollment fee for all Veterans, and no bill to Medicare or TFL for care you receive at VA. 📈TRICARE For Life fills the gaps. Once active, TRICARE For Life covers deductibles, copays, and extras that Medicare alone does not, such as routine eye exams. ➡️Access can change over time. Your VA priority, local wait times, and health needs may shift. Medicare keeps that door open. ⭐VA and TFL work together. Enrolling in one does not cancel the other. Still have questions? Click here for support and resources: va.gov/get-help-from-accredi…
