Can't Keep Your Appointment?

Last month, more than 1,000 patients were unable to keep their appointments.  Because we did not hear from them, we were unable to reschedule that time for their fellow veterans.  If you cannot keep your appointment, let us help you reschedule.

WINTER WEATHER
Weather and road conditions can change rapidly here in the Great Plains. We encourage veterans and their families to be aware of the weather and to check road conditions before traveling to their appointments.

Veterans are advised to follow National Weather Service Advice when traveling during the winter season.  Brisk winds and sudden whiteout conditions are common in the Great Plains and are often accompanied by very cold wind chill readings. Veterans and their families are advised to dress in several layers of clothing to avoid frostbite or hypothermia.  Advise family or friends of your travel plans and carry a winter weather survival kit in your vehicle.  

Extreme caution is advised when traveling.

Please call 800-316-8387, Ext. 7140 or 605-336-3230, Ext. 7140 to reschedule appointments.
