Military Times | VA to accept non-veteran patients in New York to help with coronavirus response
Veterans Affairs officials in New York will open up 50 beds to non-veteran patients in New York City as part of the department’s federal responsibility to backstop community health needs in the event of a national emergency.
The move comes after weeks of discussion about VA’s “fourth mission” in response to the ongoing coronavirus outbreak but also amid news reports that department hospitals in the city are already experiencing shortages in staffing, protective equipment and other critical needs. |
