Dorn VAMC held its 2nd annual VA 2K Walk and Roll event to support the VA Homeless Veterans program while providing an opportunity for employees to focus on wellness.

More than 20 percent of America’s homeless are Veterans and need assistance such as that provided through VA programs in cooperation with tremendous support from local and state organizations.

The May 15th walk coincided with other VA 2K walks at Dorn outpatient clinics in South Carolina and at other medical facilities across the nation.
