June 27, 2008 - The Department of Veterans Affairs has trouble keeping medical care coordinators for severely injured combat veterans, with four of the first eight people having to be replaced.
Two of the original Federal Recovery Coordinators hired late last year quit, and two have died, VA officials confirmed Thursday.
"Of the original eight, two have tragically died and two left the program for personal reasons," said VA spokeswoman Josephine Schuda.
VA officials and congressional aides, speaking on the condition of not being identified, said they knew that the jobs were going to be stressful — dealing with seriously ill or wounded combat veterans who have especially complex needs can be demanding — but no one anticipated such high turnover.
