HOT SPRINGS — All three South Dakota congressional representatives — Sens. Tim Johnson, a Democrat, and John Thune, a Republican, as well as Rep. Kristi Noem, a Republican, — will host a public one-hour Veterans Administration information-gathering session, beginning at 11 a.m., at the Hot Springs American Legion Thursday.

The legislators will tour the VA Black Hills Health Care Medical Center and Domiciliary that morning and will also have a short meeting with BHHCS Director Steve DiStasio. They will then move to the American Legion, where they will hear presentations from group leaders highlighting the Save the VA Campaign’s efforts to retain health care services for veterans at the longtime facility in Hot Springs.

For Noem, this will be her second visit to Hot Springs concerning the VA. She held a similar information-gathering session at the American Legion on Feb. 4.
