It’s all about the Veterans: Why physicians choose VA
VA physicians enjoy many perks and rewards, especially the chance to serve a unique patient population
When we ask physicians why they work at VA, their answers run the gamut – flexibility, a supportive atmosphere, loan repayment, the chance to research and teach, and more time to spend with patients. But there’s one common theme we hear again and again from our doctors about why they have chosen VA. It’s all about the Veterans.
“It is the purpose of taking care of our Veterans – that is, to give the best of ourselves to those who served our country to protect the life the rest of us live,” said Dr. Eric Sargent, M.D., a urologist at the Cheyenne VA Medical Center. “From a doctor’s standpoint, there is no better opportunity to achieve this purpose than making the health of our Veterans the highest priority.”
Acting United States Attorney for the District of Wyoming Bob Murray announced Monday that 26-year-old Benjamin Delany of Cheyenne was sentenced by Federal District Court Judge Alan B. Johnson for assaulting a correctional officer at the Platte County Detention Facility and for assaulting a correctional officer at the Scotts Bluff Detention Center in Gering, Nebraska. The government argued for an upward variance and requested a sentence of 54 months in prison. The court denied that request and sentenced Delany to 30 months of imprisonment, followed by three years of supervised release on both counts, to run concurrently.
In January of 2020, Delany was sentenced for assault with a dangerous weapon on a federal employee for his attack with a baseball bat at the Cheyenne VA Medical Center. For that offense, he received 42 months of imprisonment, to be followed by 4 years of supervised release. The court granted the government’s request that this 42-month sentence run consecutively
