Veterans Affairs officials unveiled preliminary plans to build a new cutting-edge cancer care and research center in California with Stanford University as part of new public-private partnership efforts approved as part of sweeping toxic exposure legislation approved last summer.
Construction is still years away, but VA officials touted the announcement as a sign of what the future of department health care could be: groundbreaking research that benefits not only veterans suffering from the wounds of war, but also the country as a whole.

We certainly have enough veterans with cancer caused by a variety of things they encountered in their military careers...

Kansas is getting funding for cancer research and treatment as well. My cousins were among the first to isolate some genes in their microbiology research at Texas A&M,

SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL The V.A. has an unlimited number of Veterans to do their studies on, that's for sure. Let's hope this research center isn't just another waste of taxpayer money and it actually find new and improved ways to improve the lives of those affected.
