VA Office of the Inspector General begins review of IC facilities

The Department of Veterans Affairs Office of the Inspector General has begun reviewing the Iowa City VA facility following concerns over its treatment of patients.

Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, requested the review in a letter sent to Inspector General George Opfer on March 7. The Iowa City Veterans Association received a copy of that letter from an anonymous source.

Iowa City VA spokeswomen Valerie Buckingham said the facility is waiting on further guidance from the Office of the Inspector General.
