CONWAY — The Manchester Veterans Affairs Medical Center held an informational fair for veterans on Friday, March 29 at the North Conway Grand Hotel.
The purpose of the event, said Kristin Pressly, public affairs officer for the Manchester VA Medical Center, “was to engage veterans that may not have been engaged in health care and to recognize veterans for their service. We want to make sure they have the services they need.”
