The Veterans Administration just called me. They wanted to know how I was doing and if I needed assistance during this pandemic. This is the first time I've gotten a call from them,its always been the other way around.

from your primary or a clinic you visit?

About 2 months ago I recieved same type of phone call . 1 month ago my scheluled (6 month) clinic visit was done by telephone. Just yesterday the wife had a appointment for blood work and only actual clients allowed inside building after chec-in and waiting phone call to proceed inside. 2 months ago she had a appointment with heart doctor at VA hospital with heart doctor (she served US Army active duty 8 1/2 yrs) but she was the only one allowed inside hospital while I waited outside in a patio area . So far have been pleased with the care that we both have received in the last 3 years. ..........................drill sgt.

The VA hospitals are opening in certain Zip Codes and requiring a mask and some screening. I am not sure what they are going to do in areas like Florida and California where there has been an increase in cases. The docs are doing quite a bit of telehealth when it is appropriate.

The call was from an 800 number, I missed the initial call but there was a voicemail message.
