LEBANON — The VA Office of Inspector General (OIG) issued a report Thursday on staffing shortages for 140 of the 141 Veterans Affairs medical centers across the country.

The report revealed the self-reported gaps in both clinical and nonclinical occupations. Directors from the 140 medical centers reported that they’re struggling to fill 3,068 staff vacancies due to a severe shortage of candidates, according to the OIG report.
