WY US Representative Hageman Visits Sheridan VA Medical Center

Congresswoman Harriet Hageman and her team joined staff members of the House Veterans’ Affairs Committee for an oversight visit to the Sheridan Veterans’ Affairs Medical Center (VAMC) to review veteran care, facility conditions, and the implementation of recent reforms aimed at improving outcomes for Wyoming veterans.

This visit was driven by multiple concerning reports received by Rep. Hageman’s office indicating that the Sheridan VAMC was not fulfilling its mission with transparency, efficiency, and accountability.

“Our Wyoming veterans are incredibly important to me, to their communities, and to our state as a whole. It is of utmost importance that we give these men and women the medical care that is due them,” said Rep. Hageman. “I have had numerous constituents reach out to me with legitimate concerns around their treatment at the Sheridan VA, and after gathering substantial information, those concerns culminated with today’s visit. My advocacy for veterans will continue well past today, and I will work with my team, the House Veterans’ Affairs Committee, and local stakeholders to ensure that our veterans receive the care they deserve.”

The visit included meetings with local service providers and staff on issues ranging from mental health services to claims processing and facility modernization needs.

The visit reflects Congresswoman Hageman’s ongoing commitment to protecting those who wore the uniform and ensuring federal agencies operate with the accountability and urgency our veterans deserve.

There are over 45,000 veterans in Wyoming, and Congresswoman Hageman will continue to advocate for them all.

Representative Hageman is hosting a townhall meeting on Friday, April 25th from 6:30 until 7:30pm at the Tongue River Valley Community Center.
