WASHINGTON – Facing increased demand for services at a time it is trying to rebuild a reputation tarnished by cover-ups of long wait times for medical and mental health care, the Department of Veterans Affairs is waging a campaign to get more volunteers into its hospitals and clinics.

He said the department is working toward a June 28 open house at VA facilities nationwide to spur increased engagement with veterans, including more active volunteers.
