The Roseburg VA just can’t seem to stay out of the news.

How does a hospital ranked 134/134 for VA facilities improve their quality scores dramatically in just a few years? If you believe what their doctors are saying, it’s because they’re cherry picking patients against medical advice to artificially game their stats. If you believe their administrators, they’re just providing the level of care their facility is capable of.

Who do YOU believe? Watch and decide.
