VA To Choose Site In Louisville

{Louisville, Kentucky}...U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell says he talked with Department of Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki Thursday to express concerns about delays in building the new VA hospital in Louisville. McConnell says Shinseki indicated the agency hopes to pick a final site this spring. The current VA hospital opened in 1952, and although it has undergone expansions, officials say it lacks adequate space to keep up with demand for its health services. The VA announced in 2006 that it plans to build the new hospital.
