Media Relations Policy
To effectively welcome the media to VAPHS, the Office of Public Affairs has established the following guidelines for arranging interviews, videotape sessions or photo opportunities.
- Please call Public Affairs to arrange all interviews with any staff member.
- Reporters must identify staff by their official titles in stories related to their work roles at VAPHS.
- Reporters are asked to use our complete name — VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System — when referring to the health care system in a print or broadcast story.
- Advance notice of on-site interviews is necessary so Public Affairs staff can make arrangements.
- To protect the privacy of VAPHS patients and families, Public Affairs must accompany all reporters, film crews and photographers visiting any VA Pittsburgh site.
