Mountain Home , TN — Today, the James H. Quillen VA Medical Center, Mountain Home, TN recognizes and honors hospitalized Veterans as part of National Salute to Veteran Patients Week. Since
1978, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has designated the week of Valentine’s Day, from Feb. 9-15, to commemorate Veterans by facilitating visits to those who are hospitalized,
promoting volunteer opportunities, and accepting Valentine’s Day cards. Local commemoration efforts include visits from our East Tennessee State University Women’s Basketball Team. Musicians
on Call will be providing several performance sessions for our patients to enjoy during their time at the facility. “We are honored to host Veteran Service Organizations, community
partners, and the general public to give thanks to our Veterans during National Salute to Veteran Patients Week,” said Martina Malek, Interim Medical Center Director. “If you would like to
mail Valentine’s Day cards to our Medical Center to show your gratitude for their service, we will be sure to distribute your cards to Veterans during National Salute to Veteran Patients
Week.” To send Valentine’s Day cards to Veterans, mail to: James H. Quillen VA Medical Center PO Box 4000 (135) Mountain Home, TN 37684 Personal contributions of time and expressions of care
