On Saturday, Aug. 22, nearly 200 women Veterans came together for the Women Veteran Relaxation Day. Attendees participated in several activities, to include sound bowl meditation, and discussions about self-care.

In addition to connecting with fellow Veterans, the women received an opportunity to speak with representatives from VA Whole Health, Social Work, the National Cemetery, the Florida Department of Veterans’ Affairs, and several other resources designed to support their wellbeing. The four-hour event took place in the Central Park Performing Arts Center and was co-hosted by the Women Veteran Programs from Bay Pines VA and Tampa VA, as well as Empath Health.

Bay Pines VA remains proud to support Women Veterans. Thank you to the Veterans who joined us, and to all our VA and community partners who helped make this special day possible.
