Veteran Affairs officials are ahead on their health care hiring and retention goals for the fiscal year but will need to bring in more human resources personnel to keep pace with the staffing surges in coming months.
In a press conference with reporters on Tuesday, VA Under Secretary for Health Dr. Shereef Elnahal said that the number of employees within the Veterans Health Administration right now is about 388,000, up more than 2% from the start of the fiscal year last October.

I would guess that they don't consider staffing longevity as any confidence-building item from veterans.
My first Primary Care Physician retired after seeing me, twice (OK, I'm a tad 'touched'?), My Cardio-Surgeon has moved on, my second Primary moved on, my third got re-assigned within our Community Clinic.
Two psych techs moved on
But, my psychologist, Dr. Sharma keeps and has kept me grounded for many years.
