Many patients and their families (a term that includes significant others and close friends) find it comforting to be with others in a similar situation when dealing with a problem or working toward a goal. This group lists the groups at VA Long Beach, which you or your family may be interested in joining.

The listings contain very basic information. Please call the contact person for details or questions (Dial 562-826-8000 ext. 2322 ).

Most groups are offered free of charge but there may be some cost involved depending on services provided and VA elegibility.

The turn "patient" refers to both inpatients and outpatients in most cases. If a group is limitied there will be a notifaction.
