Warning VA Tele Town Hall is fake

On 9 June 2026, I got a call from someone representing the VA to participate in a North Texas VA Town Hall sponsored by the VA over the phone. The Tele Town Hall claimed to have at least 6000 veterans on phone.

I sat and listened for an hour to about 7 female veterans spill their guts out about the lack of care for Cancer, long wait time on phone calls, there was only one OBGYN Doctor in Dallas that doesn't do surgeries, and another veteran complain that the VA was not honoring the law governing the continuation of medication from active to VA system. Further, one of the veterans sounded like she wasn't mentally in a safe place.

The Board on this Tele Town Hall gave various excuses and possible fixes to their problems.

They even claimed to call anyone back with answers to any questions they may have after the program. This was a lie because I never to my phone call.

I tried to find further information about the Tele Town Hall program. There is nothing, nada, zip.

I called Lufkin, Texas VA Patient Advocate, North Texas VA (Dallas) Patient Advocate and They have not heard of the VA Tele Town Hall program.

I hate to believe that this Tele Town Hall was only for my benefit with people pretending to represent various Departments of the VA. They gave out valid phone numbers to the VA North Texas system. But, they have no contact information for themselves.

Contact information for the VA Tele Town Hall to follow up with the representatives doesn't exist. Such a shame.
