Congresswoman Donna F. Edwards (MD-4) hosted a town hall meeting last night to ensure that service members, veterans and their families in the 4th Congressional District are apprised on how and where to access their health care benefits now that Base Closure and Realignment Commission (BRAC) actions are complete. Congresswoman Edwards was joined by federal, state, local, and military officials, including representatives from the federal and state departments of Veterans Affairs."Base Realignment and Closure has provided an opportunity to enhance the level of health care for our brave men and women in uniform who have answered the call to serve their country," said Lt. Governor Anthony G. Brown, Chair of the Governor's BRAC Subcabinet and the nation's highest ranking elected official to have served a tour of duty in Iraq. "With the BRAC moves now complete, it is important that those who need these health services know how to best access their care, and I thank Congresswoman Edwards for holding this town hall to provide the most up-to-date information to our community."
