The VA is changing — and VA Secretary Doug Collins wants veterans to know it.
The retired Air Force chaplain and former congressman pulled back the curtain on a sweeping push to move beyond the one-size-fits-all approach that frustrated veterans for years.

Collins also gets candid about the realities behind the headlines — what it actually takes to treat a single veteran with MDMA therapy, why medical marijuana remains out of reach despite widespread veteran support, and how community care fits into the VA's future without replacing the direct care system veterans depend on.
