Fraudsters are targeting disabled Veteran athletes with fake deals on adaptive sports equipment. They demand upfront fees, then vanish. Protect yourself: use trusted sources, verify vendors, avoid unrealistic deals, do not share personal information, and report concerns to your VA representative immediately.

Our Peer Specialists at the Iowa City VA Health Care System hosted a Veteran bowling outing and it was more than just a great time at the lanes.
Peer Support outings like this are an important part of our recovery‑focused care. They help Veterans connect with others who’ve walked similar paths, reduce feelings of isolation, and strengthen emotional well‑being through shared experiences and community.

A big thank‑you to Iowa City VA Voluntary Services and Colonial Lanes for supporting this event and helping us continue to create meaningful opportunities for connection.

During Patient Experience Week, we asked staff what their "why" was. Why the VA? Why this job. Some of the answers just warmed our hearts, we just had to share.

💙 We are so lucky to have such a dedicated staff who care so deeply about our Veterans💙
