Congressman Stephen Lynch to Host Forum at West Roxbury VA Hospital

Congressman Stephen Lynch on Thursday will host a special forum in West Roxbury with Veterans Service Officers from across the state to discuss veterans administration hospitals and patient needs. 

Boston currently serves about 67,000 veterans from around New England and has campuses in West Roxbury, Jamaica Plain and Brockton, as well as five community clinics, according to officials. Boston VA Healthcare System Vincent Ng will also be on hand Thursday, and directors who oversee other VA hospitals in the state have been invited, as well. 

The forum, which will be closed to the press for privacy reasons, will be held at 11 a.m. on Thursday in the Barsamian Auditorium at the West Roxbury VA Hospital, Building 1, third floor, 1400 VFW Parkway.
