Sadly the Salem VA center does not give a darn about the healthcare of veterans. The the "community care act" is a joke there you have to go through so much red tape and it's so difficult to see anyone when you need specialty care that you might as well just go ahead and pay for yourself or just suffer.
I am almost amazed every time I go there just the level that the doctors and nurse practitioners care more about protecting the VA than healing veterans! I hate to say it but the nurse practitioners being in charge of a patient's healthcare is a joke!
If the veterans administration can't afford to hire real doctors then they should just shut down..... There are some really good staff there but unfortunately and in my observation the facility is run by idiots that only care about making a high salary at the cost of veterans Health.
I wish somebody would come in and do a total makeover of this facility and make it so they actually care about veterans!
The last four years have been the worst I've ever seen and I wish someone would come into power that would just level this place fire everyone and let us get healthcare wherever we wanted, that would be so much better! I wonder how many veterans have died needlessly because of the malfeasance of this facility!!??

I know you have all heard the stories where there have been bad experiences in any hospital and the Veterans Hospital.
This is not one of those.
I have had the best possible care and resolution for my issue and everyone here is so nice, Nurse, foodservice, maintenance, janitorial and Drs all went well above and beyond. Special thanks to Cardiac and 4th floor folks.
