VA Secretary Visits Veterans’ Hospital

Home » Blog » VA Secretary Visits Veterans’ Hospital

Veterans Affairs Secretary Bob McDonald said during a tour of a Tampa veterans’ hospital Wednesday that he wants to foster a culture of transparency at the agency after a summer of scandal over chronic delays for patients.

“We know that there have been problems in the VA,” he said. “We know that trust has been compromised.”

McDonald spoke to reporters and met with staff at the James A. Haley Veterans’ Hospital in Tampa. He also toured the VA’s St. Petersburg Regional Office and is scheduled today to visit the Orlando VA Medical Center’s Lake Nona Campus.

McDonald took over in July as President Barack Obama’s choice to head a beleaguered agency plagued by long veterans’ waits for health care and cases of VA workers falsifying records to cover it up. He’s been visiting VA centers around the country and has had hospitals hold town meetings.
