Female veterans navigate male-dominated VA system
More women than ever are returning home from military duty, but many Veteran Affairs centers don’t have adequate services for womens’ health. We talk this morning with Ann Brown, director of the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Martinsburg, West Virginia, and retired Marine Capt. Anu Bhagwati, executive director of the Service Women’s Action Network, about what VA facilities need to do to better accommodate female needs.
