Under Talton’s supervision, the CAVHCS has been at the forefront of disturbing practices and negligence in the VA Medical System. I am pleased that the VA recognizes that this type of inexcusable mismanagement must not be tolerated. New leadership is a much-needed first step in ensuring that the CAVHCS will better serve our veterans who have dutifully served our nation.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
