Shinseki announced the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is launching a comprehensive study of women Veterans who served in the military during the Vietnam War to explore the effects of their military service upon their mental and physical health.   "One of my top priorities is to meet the needs of women Veterans," said Secretary Shinseki. "Our Veterans have earned the very best care. VA realizes that women Veterans require specialized programs, and this study will help VA provide high-quality care for women Veterans of the Vietnam era." http://www.vfwwebcom.org/wi/dist5/218710/ Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:15:00 -0500 http://www.vfwwebcom.org/wi/dist5/218710/ The following staff changes have been implemented – 1.      Randy Nitschke is the Acting Administrator for the Division of Veterans Homes. He has a total of over 20 years healthcare experience in both the private and government sectors. That experience mixed with his proven leadership will keep our homes moving in the right direction. 2.      Pat Shaughnessy is Acting Commandant at the Veterans Home-Union Grove. Pat has a long history of healthcare experience in both the private and government sectors as well. I have a lot of faith in Mr. Shaughnessy’s ability to keep Union Grove successful. 3.      Bill Crowley is returning as the Commandant at the Veterans Home-King. Wisconsin Department of Justice (DOJ) looked into referrals concerning certain transactions involving the Wisconsin Veterans Home at King (WVH-King) and found that neither criminal violations nor misconduct in public office occurred. With that news, it is only appropriate that Mr. Crowley should return.     JOHN A.
