Get your state VA involved if need be.Response by SrA John Monette made Nov 17 at 2021 8:23 AM2021-11-17T08:23:34-05:002021-11-17T08:23:34-05:00SSgt Christophe Murphy7373409<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>VA wide policies should be adhered to regardless of geographic location. Specific hospitals may have additional policies that manage the care they provide and their branch locations/clinics but it would generally be for that specific Hospital. For example some Hospitals are considered branch locations of larger Hospitals. Truman VA Hospital in Columbia Missouri is a branch off of the much larger Kansas City Hospital.Response by SSgt Christophe Murphy made Nov 17 at 2021 10:09 AM2021-11-17T10:09:04-05:002021-11-17T10:09:04-05:002021-11-16T23:36:24-05:00
