VA New Hampshire Vision 2025 Task Force; Notice of Meeting

    The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) gives notice under the 
Federal Advisory Committee Act that the VA New Hampshire Vision 2025 
Task Force, which is a subcommittee of the Special Medical Advisory 
Group (SMAG), will meet February 14, 2018 from 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. ET 
and February 15, 2018 from 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. ET at the Department of

Manchester, NH 03104, Building 1, 1st Floor, Training & Education Room. 
There will also be a teleconference line available for those attendees 
unable to attend in person. The meeting is open to the public.
    The purpose of the Subcommittee is to develop a comprehensive set 
of options and recommendations to develop a future vision of what VA 
must do to best meet the needs of New Hampshire Veterans. The 
recommendations will be reviewed by the SMAG and then those final 
recommendations will be forwarded to the Secretary and Under Secretary 
for Health for decision and action.
    The agenda will include review of the online questionnaire on the 
task force's website and being shared with all Veterans across New 
Hampshire. Furthermore, the agenda will also include both review of 
recommendations and proposals from the various clinical service lines 
and facilitated decision making by the taskforce as it begins to 
develop its final set of recommendations to the SMAG. The listen only 
teleconference line is reached by dialing 1-800-767-1750 and then
