Harry S. Truman Memorial Veterans’ Hospital recently was ranked No. 1 nationally by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs’ All Employee Survey. This is the third consecutive year Truman VA has been ranked No. 1 throughout VA by employees.

In a news release from the U.S. Department of Veteran's Affairs:

The VA survey is administered each year in June, with results available in the Fall. Although the survey is voluntary, all VA employees are encouraged to participate for the best assessment of workforce satisfaction and organizational climate. Once the survey closes, organizations throughout VA are ranked in order of “Best Places to Work,” according to results driven by employee responses.
