PVA Commander Testifies Before Congress

Washington, DC—Today, Paralyzed Veterans of America National President Gene A. Crayton praised Congressional leaders for making Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) healthcare funding an advance appropriation, but urged that much more needs to be done for our nation’s veterans with disabilities.

“VA in the last two years has received record levels of funding. You have also given VA new responsibilities and created new programs. Now it is important to ensure that these resources are used wisely and where they are most needed,” Crayton told lawmakers. “Paralyzed Veterans of America has been, and will continue to be, an advocate for garnering necessary resources and benefits for veterans. We have a responsibility — as you do — to be stewards of the system. We must be able to say there are enough nurses at the bedside and that waiting times for referrals are acceptable — the resources must provide tangible results.”
