Veterans Affairs Secretary Robert A. McDonald will address the state of the VA and the continuing efforts to improve services to millions of America’s veterans and their families at a National Press Club luncheon on Friday, Nov. 6.
McDonald took office on July 29, 2014 amid controversy over reports that dozens of veterans had died while waiting for care from the VA’s hospital system. Internal investigations at the VA identified 35 veterans who died while waiting for care in the Phoenix VHA system.
The Press Club luncheon begins promptly at 12:30 p.m. Remarks will begin at 1p.m., followed by a question-and-answer session, ending at 2 p.m. Tickets may be purchased here. The cost of luncheon admission is $23 for National Press Club members and $37 non-members. Tickets must be purchased at time of reservation.
