Dr. Repasky: Medical Director Boss Lady of the VA! Building trust, getting Veterans back into the VA & the Big Changes coming.

I sit down with Dr. Stephanie Repasky, the Medical Director of the Gulf Coast VA Health Care System.

We discussed the priority of getting all Veterans into the VA for their healthcare and all the changes to help with the growth.

New Specialties coming to the VA, new surgical procedures being offered, recruiting and retention efforts to expand access to care.

Actively hiring MD, Nurse Practitioners, and PAs for "gap coverage" to decrease wait times.

Hiring Mental Health and Women Health Nurse Practitioners to get Veterans in quicker!

Fixing Phone lines and improving customer service!

Reducing wait times, increasing community partners, tele-health, home health, innovation and technology.

On-site advocates for Homeless Veterans.

Who is the fastest, largest, Veteran group coming to the VA?
