FAKE PROMO ALERT

There is a flyer circulating about “free athletic shoes from VA,” this is a fake promotion and is not from the Department of Veterans Affairs. Please note that, although the flyer lists the MyVA 1 800 number, the flyer itself is not authorized to promote or use it.

Do not share any personal or financial information and ignore or delete this message if you receive it.

If you’re unsure whether something is real, contact VA directly using trusted phone numbers or the official VA website.

If you have shared any personal information outside of VA in response to this fake promo, please contact VSAFE at vsafe.gov or by calling 833-38V-SAFE for help and to report it.

Thank you for choosing VA for your health care.

Did you know the VA asks Veterans for feedback on how we are doing and how we can improve?

After your visit to a VA hospital or clinic, you may get a short survey by email or by mail. It takes less than 9 minutes to finish. When you complete it, you help shape how we deliver care at your local VA.

The survey is called the Survey of Healthcare Experiences of Patients (SHEP). It asks about different parts of your visit and how your experience was.

Our goal is to give you a great experience. Your feedback helps us make improvements, and we are here to listen. If you get a survey, please share your thoughts. Your voice helps us make care better for all Veterans.

If you have already returned your survey, thank you!
