VA Eliminates 137 Positions, Impacting Veteran Care
Update: 2025-12-20
Description
The Department of Veterans Affairs is eliminating 137 vacant positions at the Mann-Grandstaff VA Medical Center in Spokane, part of a nationwide effort to streamline operations. No current employees will lose their jobs, but the workload from these vacant positions will fall on existing staff. The hospital employs over 1400 people and is actively hiring for other open positions. The decision to eliminate these positions has been criticized by Senator Patty Murray, who emphasized the need for more staff, not fewer, in critical areas like behavioral health.
