National Rural Health Day, SVA Shares Facts, Links to Help Student Veterans, AZ Dept of Vet Services Employment Survey


National Rural Health Day events help bring attention to rural America, putting the spotlight on the many positive aspects of rural life as well as the health care needs of those living in rural communities. We at VA have the opportunity and the responsibility to ensure all Veterans, regardless of where they live, have access to the high quality health care they have earned.”- Secretary Eric K. Shinseki  See more about Rural Health at: http://celebratepowerofrural.org/ or http://www.ruralhealth.va.gov/

The Student Veterans of America (SVA) is doing a great job at sorting through statistics to find out the truth about Student Veterans.  Here are some of the latest factoids they have shared: 85% are over 24 years old, 47% have a family, 27% are female  (from http://studentveterans.org/index.php)

Veterans may find these links on our YC Veterans Services webpage helpful to navigate through all of the different VA and educational benefits, see: http://www.yc.edu/v5content/veterans/links-forms.htm

Arizona Department of Veterans Services is seeking feedback from employers, employment services, and job-seeking Veterans in order to develop their plan for the upcoming year.  Have your say in that plan!  See their explanation at: http://www.azdvs.gov/ or go straight to their survey at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/2013AZEmployment
