LaToya Dowdell-Burger, the Hiring Coordinator for the VA, says this is a national effort to improve staff well being and create better care for Veterans.
Dowdell-Burder said, “It’s very important because we want to take care of our veterans and our staff. We want to make sure we are giving our veterans the best we can. I am an Army veteran myself, I get my care at my local VA. It’s important we have staff in place so we don’t have burnout or anything like that and access to care, of course, for our veterans.”
The event is expected to have around 300 people throughout the day according to VA representatives.
