“This afternoon I spoke with President Obama about the actions we’ve taken to accelerate access to care and to get Veterans off of wait lists and into clinics. We greatly appreciate and welcome Rob Nabors’ insight and leadership as we work to strengthen the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

We can and must solve these problems as we work to earn back the trust of Veterans.”
