Nebraska cities contest for VET hospital
Nebraska cities push to land a new state veterans hospital with hearings planned after congressman Simmons requested details from the Veterans Bureau. The plan originally called for 30 beds serving Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, and Nebraska, but the final order lowers Nebraska’s capacity to 200 beds and may shift focus to serving Nebraska alone with potential site changes.
