IN-PERSON Town Hall for Veterans at Hobbs, NM Clinic - KCBD

Lubbock's West Texas veterans are invited to an in-person town hall with VA leadership, but it's happening over in Hobbs, New Mexico. The West Texas VA Health Care System (WTVAHCS) is holding the gathering at their Hobbs VA Clinic on Thursday, August 27, 2026, between 6 and 7 p.m.

The West Texas VA Health Care System (WTVAHCS) is holding the gathering at their Hobbs VA Clinic on Thursday, August 27, 2026, between 6 and 7 p.m. Mountain Time. This regional meeting welcomes all veterans, their families, and caregivers from across the South Plains. Attendees can directly discuss issues and share ideas with WTVAHCS leadership and subject matter experts. Many Lubbock veterans, especially those living near the VA Clinic off 4th Street, often rely on services managed by this same regional system. This rare opportunity provides firsthand updates on health benefits, program changes, and a chance to ask specific questions about their care.

Getting to Hobbs requires a drive past places like Denver City, a real commitment for our local veterans. This open forum offers a unique platform to voice concerns about wait times, specific treatments, or administrative challenges. Your input could directly shape regional VA operations, potentially improving care for thousands of local service members.

With over 20,000 veterans in Lubbock County, a two-hour drive for direct VA input is a real decision.
