Shore Medical Center announced that its veterans support group, Vet 2 Vet Café, will now be held in-person at the hospital’s Center for Family Caregivers beginning with its April 6 meeting.
The Center for Family Caregivers is located at Shore Medical Center, just steps away from the main lobby, at 100 Medical Center Way in Somers Point.
Vet 2 Vet Café, which began virtually in January, is held the first Wednesday of every month from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. and is an opportunity for veterans to connect, tell stories of service and assist one another in a supportive environment.
Each session is facilitated by John Prutting, Veterans Outreach Coordinator for Angelic Health and a two-time Operation Enduring Freedom veteran with eight years of military service. As a veteran himself, Prutting understands the specific needs and wants of other veterans.
To RSVP for an upcoming date, please call 609-653-3628 and leave your name and the date of the session you’re planning to attend or register online at www.shoremedicalcenter.org/events.
The remaining 2022 sessions are April 6, May 4, June 1, July 6, August 3, September 7, October 5, November 2 and December 7.
Guests will enter the hospital from the main entrance. Upon entering the lobby, they will undergo a temperature check and be provided with a surgical mask if they do not have one. They will be asked to wear a mask for the duration of the session.
Parking will be validated for all Vet 2 Vet Café guests.
