SANFORD, Maine—A congressional field hearing on health issues involving female and rural veterans drew dozens of former service members to Sanford.
Rep. Michael Michaud, D-Maine, presided over Monday's session before the House Veterans Affairs Subcommittee, which he chairs.
Reps. Tom Allen, D-Maine, and Jeff Miller, R-Fla., attended the hearing, which also covered issues of concern for veterans with mental health needs.
Michaud held a similar meeting last year in northern Maine.
