House Veterans Affairs Committee Chair To Tour Phoenix VA

The chairman of the House Committee on Veterans Affairs will be in the Valley on Tuesday to tour the Phoenix VA health care center.

Dr. Phil Roe, R-Tenn., will be joined by U.S. Rep. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz. They plan to meet with hospital leaders, caregivers and patients to monitor progress made on ensuring that veterans receive timely care.

The visit comes nearly three years after Roe’s predecessor revealed that dozens of veterans may have died while awaiting treatment from the Phoenix VA.

Matthew Casey has won Public Media Journalists Association and Edward R. Murrow awards since he joined KJZZ as a senior field correspondent in 2015.
