Get Veterans The Healthcare They Need

The Issue

Mismanaged VA care transformed Grand Junction Vietnam veteran Rodger Holmes from an active 20-hour-a-week volunteer into a brain-damaged and critically ill man: It was 3-drug Hepatitis C treatment that ruined his health and his life, not liver disease itself. Fortunately, his former VA social worker documented the unsafe practices, poor ethics, and systemic incompetence of Rodger’s care. But despite complaints filed with the hospital safety office, the hospital chief of medicine, the hospital chief of staff, and the VA Office of Inspector General, Rodger never got the care he needed. That's why we need you to stand up for Rodger and all veterans -- sign your name to the petition today!
