The House Veterans Affairs committee conducted an investigation into VA hospitals in three cities, including Phoenix, and found wait times in the hospitals to be unacceptable and in some cases being questioned as possible reasons for death.
According to a news release from Wilcox, at least 22 veterans might have died in Phoenix alone. She is pleading for the help of both Sens. John McCain and Jeff Flake to call for a Congressional hearing on the matter.
Wilcox will have a news conference 11:30 a.m.. Friday at Grant Park in Phoenix to discuss her call for the investigation.
Several local and military leaders are expected to attend.
