Kennedy rejects VA proposal to close Alexandria hospital

Press Release

Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) released the following statement in response to the Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA) proposed plan to close the VA medical facility in Alexandria.

"Louisiana veterans have served our country courageously, and the VA's plan to shut down Alexandria's hospital is unacceptable. No one from the VA reached out to me about this proposal, and I've already reached out to the VA Secretary to make it clear that our veterans deserve the best care and most consideration--and that doesn't involve leaving them with fewer care options."
