Patient education is a priority at Overton
Brooks VA Medical Center. We are
committed to helping you make informed
choices concerning you and your family’s
health care.
In the Medical Library,
patients and family members may look up
health topics on public computers on the
web or using the MyHealthEVet computers. Our
staff can assist you in finding up-to-date
information about medical conditions
and treatment options. We also
hold various group programs including Move!
(Managing Overweight/Obese Veterans Everywhere!) and
QuitSmart Smoking
Cessation classes.
If you have any health education needs,
please contact the Patient Health Education
Coordinator at (318) 221-8411, extension
7029 or stop by the Medical Library on
the 2nd floor, West Wing.
