WARNING! Be Wary of Strangers Asking for Money to Pay VA Co-Pays

Your VA



We want to issue a warning to y'all that someone posing as a combat Veteran who served three tours in combat zones is asking for money to pay prescription co-pays to the Dublin VAMC pharmacy to get, in this case, insulin.

Veterans have a multitude of resources to get their prescriptions or other services VA provides without asking strangers for money. We take great pride in the world-class healthcare we provide and would not withhold critical prescriptions and services from Veterans in this case for a $24 co-pay.

If a stranger approaches you stating they are a combat Veteran but are turned away from receiving prescriptions or care from Dublin VA or any of our outpatient clinics, advise that person to get in touch with a Patient Advocate or have them send us a Direct Message via Facebook Messenger.

We do not recommend giving people money under potentially false pretenses.



Keep updated & let us know how we're doing.

Memorial Day Safety
Memorial Day – The official unofficial kickoff weekend for “pretty much almost might as well be summer”! If you are planning to travel, barbecue or spend a weekend in the sun, here are a few simple tips that will help you keep safe this Memorial Day.
Grilling & Fire Safety
Grills and smokers, while creating delicious cookout fare, have a great potential for danger. It is very important that a lit or hot grill is never left unattended; a responsible adult should stand guard as “grill master” to control flames and keep children and animals away from hot surfaces. Before your first grill of the year and often during grilling season, make sure your grill ready for the job. Keep it clean of grease, inspect propane fuel lines, and position your grill away from structures, trees, and high-traffic walkways. You should also take any precautions in case a flare-up or fire were to occur; keep an extinguisher nearby and make sure to know how to cut off fuel lines if you are using propane.
Picnic Food Safety
Proper food safety during barbecues can help to avoid tummy troubles later. Make sure to take safe food preparation precautions and avoid cross-contamination with plenty of hand washing. Take steps to keep foods at safe temperatures; cold foods should be kept on ice or refrigerated and left out no longer than an hour, and warm foods should be kept heated to at least 140°F until served. Keep all outdoor buffet dishes covered and try to keep insects from depositing germs onto your delicious meal. If you do end up with any sort of digestion problems after a barbecue, stay hydrated and seek medical assistance if you experience serious symptoms.
Summer Sun Safety
If you spend time in the sun, be sun safe! Use sunscreen of an appropriate SPF and make sure to reapply as necessary, especially if you are swimming or sweating. Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and to keep cool. And do not forget your eyes – wear a hat and sunglasses!
Memorial Day Travel Safety
Tens of millions of Americans travel during Memorial Day Weekend, so it is especially important to include safety into your weekend travel plans. Prepare by making sure your car is in top working condition; and fill your tank before heading out on your trip, and make sure you are equipped with emergency essentials. Plan your drive ahead of time to choose direct routes on safe roads and keep an eye on weather forecasts to avoid driving with dangerous conditions. Never drive after drinking or travel with anyone who has been drinking or allow anyone who has been drinking to drive. And of course, when you are driving, always wear your safety belt!
Memorial Day Safety Tips
Share these Memorial Day safety tips with your friends and family and have a safe and happy holiday!
