President Trump, save our Puerto Rican veterans!


President Donald Trump

Dear President Trump,

I am addressing you concerning the situation at the VA Hospital of San Juan, Puerto Rico which merits your attention.

For more than a decade this facility has been under construction and remodeling creating constant hassle and inconvenience. Please note it is absurd that the Veterans Administration invests millions of taxpayers’ money assigned by the Federal Government to satisfy the capriciousness of this corrupt administration in Puerto Rico always disposing and wasting when the funds should be allocated for the benefit and welfare of the veterans and returning soldiers.

Please be advised at present the Mental Health Area only has 30 beds for the thousands of patients of Puerto Rico. Also, there is not a designated area for patients needed to be treated for substance abuse neither a geriatric division. When the veterans arrive due to emergency crisis at the Psychiatric Intensive Care (PIC) Unit so many are stuck there for days in the waiting room. The Psychiatrists of PIC often have to refer them to other inferior mental hospitals because their hands are tied and experience frustration as they do not count with the support of the administration that always turns a blind eye to the needs of the veterans. Additionally, please know the ER and pharmacy continues to be a disorganized disaster and makes the patients wait all day to obtain care and their prescribed medications which angers, frustrates, causes anxiety and stress.

It is ironic that the person in charge of this VA Hospital, Dr. Sanchez, Chief of Staff who is a Psychiatrist and truly the Puppeteer who pulls the strings there, lacks morality, empathy and does not give a damn about the veteran’s welfare, only appearances. It is my conviction that the constant remodeling is just a strategy to make his friends who have all these contracts very wealthy people.

Mr. President, the plan to make America Great Again must include the proper care and welfare of America’s veterans and returning soldiers. Please intervene. Cordially,

Arlene Blake
