VA’s 14th annual VA2K Walk & Roll event is back with goals of moving the body in support of your whole health and well-being, while also helping Veterans experiencing homelessness. The
event, including a Whole Health fair, is scheduled for May 15 at the Cincinnati VA Medical Center (VAMC) at 10 a.m. The free event begins with a Whole Health fair at 10 a.m. in the
auditorium. Whole Health is VA’s approach to care that supports your health and well-being. Whole Health centers around what matters to you, which means your health care team will get to
know you as an individual before working with you to develop a personalized health plan based on your values, needs, and goals. The fair will feature services available to assist you on your
Whole Health journey. VA2K registration and welcome remarks will take place at noon in the VA Organic Garden, followed by the 6 Service Challenge Grand Finale. Veterans and caregivers are
encouraged to participate in the VA2K event, which includes a short two-kilometer walk and roll (1.24 miles) around VA and University of Cincinnati campuses beginning immediately after the
grand finale. To help area Veterans experiencing homelessness, participants may bring a voluntary donation of household necessities (listed below). These donations will be collected and
distributed to local Veterans. Donations are not required to participate. “By offering participants a way to help homeless Veterans while also promoting Whole Health and Moving the Body, the
VA2K Walk & Roll is a positive event for both the community and VA,” said Cincinnati VAMC Employee Whole Health Coordinator Felicia Poteate-Marion, LISW-S. Requested donations: * Gas
cards * Air mattresses with pumps * Toiletries * Paper towels * Toilet paper * Garbage bags * Toilet bowl brushes * Shower curtains & hooks * Laundry pods * Cleaning supplies * Lysol
wipes and other cleaners * Sponges for cleaning * Refrigerator magnets * Saran wrap, foil, sandwich bags * Laundry baskets * Hangers Find out more about the VA2K and Whole Health at VA2K
