AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – The VA of Augusta held a hiring fair Saturday to recruit health care workers as part of efforts to improve veteran care.
Leaders said staffing has improved over the last two years, with the vacancy rate now down to 12%.
The hiring fair comes as medical students are graduating and the VA of Augusta works to rebuild trust and its workforce.
“So we want to afford them an opportunity to join our team, you know, as they enhance or start their new, embark on their new careers,” said James Doelling, interim executive director at VA Augusta Healthcare System. “But we’re also looking for seasoned people, somebody that’s looking for a change. And to me, be part of the most noble mission there is, caring for our nation’s heroes. Those people that have served us, it’s time for them to be served and get the best care anywhere.”
The Augusta VA has a four-star rating from Medicare.
