On 3/28/22, standing with veterans, veteran advocates and others, U.S. Senator Charles Schumer unveiled his ‘battle’ plan to keep Long Island’s Northport VA Medical Center fully open and caring for vets. “The battle plan to ensure vets across Long Island get the care they fought for has been drawn,” said U.S. Senator Charles Schumer. “Today, I am unveiling a full-scale advocacy plan to defeat the recommendations in the recent VA report that would all but shutter the VA medical center here in Northport.” Schumer said, today, that despite the recent VA report from the feds that recommends the slashing of care and services at Northport’s VA, that he will be pushing back, involving local vets and engaging the White House to prevent this near shuttering of Northport.
