COATESVILLE, PA – Today, Representative Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA) announced the details of her upcoming town hall, scheduled for Monday, July 24, at 5:30 p.m at Chester County Public Safety Training Campus. The town hall will focus on veteran health care and the recently announced partnership between the VA and Penn Medicine. Houlahan will be joined by Howard Crawford, president of the West Chester Veterans Council and commander of the American Legion Post 134, who will be moderating the event, Michael Duncan, President and CEO of the Chester County Hospital and Health System, and Kirk Fernitz, director of Community & Congressional Affairs, Coatesville VA Medical Center. 

Houlahan's office has advised that the venue has limited seating capacity and the public is reminded that an RSVP does not guarantee a seat. 

“As a Member of Congress, it is my priority to inform our community of the resources available to them. I am thrilled that there have been such great partnerships and new initiatives in our community, specifically in the Coatesville area,” said Houlahan. “In order for Coatesville area residents to take advantage of these resources — such as improved health care for veterans — they need to be aware that they exist and know how to use them. That’s exactly why I’m hosting my 75^t town hall, and I look forward to seeing our community at the event.”

This will be Houlahan’s 75th town hall since serving as the representative for Pennsylvania’s Sixth Congressional District.
