ProPublica is a nonprofit newsroom that investigates abuses of power. Sign up to receive our biggest stories as soon as they’re published.
If you are a doctor, nurse or other front-line medical provider who has recently left your position at a VA hospital or clinic, we want to hear from you.
We know many of the issues at the VA are long-standing, but our reporting over the last several months has shown that some recent policy changes are having an impact on working conditions and on patient care. We’ve obtained anonymized exit-survey data about departing VA employees’ decisions to leave the department, but we need your help to understand the full picture.
We want to hear your story about leaving the VA and get your insights about the care the VA provides. It’s important that we hear all sides of an issue, so we’re not just interested in stories about problems — if you’ve had a positive experience with the Trump administration’s changes or want to provide additional context, please share it with us.
We take your privacy seriously. **We are gathering this information for the purposes of our reporting and we need your name and contact information so that we can be sure that those who respond actually worked at the VA. We will not publish your name or any part of your story unless we contact you and you give us permission to do so.
If you currently work for the VA or another federal agency, we encourage you to contact our reporters directly via the encrypted messaging app Signal rather than fill out this form. You are welcome to use this option if you’ve left the agency too. Here’s how you can reach us on Signal:
