SOMERS POINT - Shore Medical Center, 100 Medical Center Way, has announced that its veterans support group, Vet 2 Vet Café, will now be held in-person off the main lobby at Shore Medical Center's Center for Family Caregivers beginning April 6.
Vet 2 Vet Café, which began virtually in January, is held 1-2 p.m. on the first Wednesday of every month 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-times Operation Enduring Freedom veteran with eight years of military service. As a veteran, Prutting understands the specific needs and wants of other veterans.
