What's Your VA Healthcare Story? The VFW wants
VA-enrolled veterans to call the toll-free 1-800-VFW-1899 telephone
line and tell them if your VA medical facility is properly serving you.
According to VFW National Commander Bill Thien, recent
allegations about improper care in Arizona, Colorado, Texas and
elsewhere have made it difficult to separate truth from conjecture.
"Veterans die every day, but veterans dying due to wrong diagnoses,
unsterilized equipment or while awaiting treatment is a failure of
leadership and management both in Washington and out in the field," he
said. "We need to hear real life stories, good or bad, not hearsay. Only
then can we hold VA officials properly accountable for their actions or
inaction."
The toll-free number was rolled out in 1996 as the
VA was transforming from primarily a hospital-based system into an
integrated healthcare system that now includes 820 outpatient clinics
that serve veterans closer to where they actually reside. Call
1-800-VFW-1899 to voice your VA healthcare experiences.
