I am a spouse of a retired Army 1Sgt, is this group open to anyone? I would like to learn about the process it takes to be a candidate for surgery. Is this the group for me? If so what time on Thursdays do you meet?

Can you tell me the times of this meeting and if the group is still active? Will I learn the process to getting started on how to get approved for surgery through Madigan?
