Veterans Affairs Mental Health Summit

May 17, 2017 8 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.

The fifth annual Veterans Mental Health and Homeless Summit is to showcase the collaboration between the VA and our community partners and the resources that are available within these entities that benefit our veterans and their families in the greater Rochester and surrounding areas.
