Santa Clara County Veterans Share Health Care Concerns
At a Town Hall meeting with Department of Veterans Affairs officials on Thursday, Santa Clara County veterans said long appointment wait times and communication gaps result in delayed diagnoses and higher out-of-pocket costs for necessary care. Lisa Freeman, director of the VA Palo Alto Health Care System, said the administration has to improve communication and notifications of changes that affect the roughly 85,000 veterans in the county.
