"Our wait times were going up. So we decided to do something a little unique in this town, we decided to do something about it. We've actually seen over the past year our wait times stabilize or go down."
"The data included information from 134 of VA's 170 medical centers across 10 key specialties with significant data, which collectively make up the bulk of appointments out of dozens of specialties."

While some areas have seen quicker access to care, others, particularly in neurology, PTSD treatment, and oncology, continue to face challenges.
