VA Medical Center in D.C. 'deteriorating,' memo says

The VA memo said agency leaders have the concerns about mishaps, employee dissatisfaction


A recent VA memo says the performance of its troubled Washington DC medical center has further “deteriorated” in recent weeks, according to an article on the NBC News4 website.

The VA memo said agency leaders have the “greatest concern” about mishaps, employee dissatisfaction and mental health programs at the medical center.

Recent News4 reports also revealed the agency hired a contractor to fix potentially unsafe floor cracks in the facility’s surgery department in March 2017. 

VA officials also ordered repairs of holes in the walls of the facility’s “center core areas.” The facility suffered a cockroach infestation and a lack of sanitary conditions in its food service areas in 2015.
