Denis McDonough, appointed by President Joe Biden and confirmed to the post in February, said the Montana VA âdoes a lot of things really well ⦠and one of them is this team works well together.â
He noted a program in which nurses from the Montana VA system were deployed into community hospitals, which helps ensure continuity of care for veterans and prompt payment of bills.
