Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins says the VA is taking actions to improve performance at some health care facilities. In remarks reported by multiple outlets, Collins announces plans to shut down clinics that are underperforming. At the same time, he says the agency is working to address problems at other troubled sites, including shortcomings in leadership. The announcements reflect a broader effort to correct issues identified across parts of the VA’s health system rather than focusing on a single type of facility or location. While the reports agree on the core steps—closing certain clinics and intervening in leadership and management at others—they do not provide detailed criteria, timelines, or specific facility names in the excerpts provided. The reporting also does not specify the metrics used to label clinics “underperforming” or the precise changes being implemented at affected facilities. Collins’ statements, as described by the two sources, frame the actions as part of an ongoing effort to ensure VA health services meet performance expectations and to respond to identified deficiencies.
