Secretary of Veterans Affairs praises Boise VA

Secretary of Veterans Affairs Denis McDonough praised the Boise VA center in a tour with local leaders on Thursday.

McDonough told CBS 2 News the Boise facility is among the highest performers they have in the whole country.

This was one stop out of the secretary’s visit to see how President Biden’s bipartisan “unity agenda” can improve care.

McDonough also touched on the delay in the rollout of the VA’s new electronic records-keeping system. He said despite the concerns, they are working to improve the system.
