Great care at local VA

I keep hearing how bad veterans are being treated at Veterans Administration hospitals. I was recently diagnosed with a serious disease which required surgery. The doctors and staff at the Lexington VA are outstanding with their knowledge and understanding of veterans’ needs. The treatment and services I received for my 10-day stay cannot be matched by any private facility anywhere. My heartfelt thanks to the Lexington VA; without it, I wouldn’t be here.
