Schumer and Gillibrand Urge Delay of Schenectady VA Clinic Closure: Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand have asked the Department of Veterans Affairs to suspend plans to close the Schenectady VA clinic, which serves over 1,500 veterans. The facility is set to close on August 28, with patients being transferred to clinics in Albany, Clifton Park, Fonda, and Oneonta. The senators raised concerns about potential disruptions to care, increased travel times, and how the VA will manage patient transfers and staff needs. They requested comprehensive explanations from the VA before any closure proceeds. (Source: Fingerlakes1.com on Mar 27)
