The VA Help Line is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  We may be able to take care of your problem over the phone so that you may not need to come to the medical center, we will answer your health-related questions and provide you with information about your medications, and we also can assist you with changing or canceling a clinic appointment.

Canceling or Changing Appointments

If you cannot keep an existing appointment, please contact us as soon as you are aware you cannot make your appointment. This will allow us to reschedule you sooner, as well as schedule another Veteran who may be ill in your place.

Appointment Tips

To make your appointments more productive, we suggest that you arrive 30 minutes before your appointment and bring with you:

  • All medications;
  • Home blood pressure records;
  • Diabetes diaries;
  • All outside Medical Records, including those from other VA facilities;
  • Any other information that may apply to your care.
