Fresno’s VA Hospital will be expanding it’s staff and the quality of care thanks to federal money.
Dr. Wessel Meyer, the Director for the VA Central California Healthcare System, announced $20-million dollars is coming into the coffers.
Dr. Meyers says the funds will truly transform Fresno’s care for veterans –decreasing wait times – for both specialty,,,, and preferred care.
The money is a portion of the 5 billion dollars from the Choice Act that the President signed into law, last year – to improve VA systems across the nation.
Dr Meyers says they are now on a time crunch to get 86 new people on board.
They will be hiring 30-staff members this year and the rest in 2016.
