Tomah VA To Honor Wisconsin Veteran Who Died in 2014

Wisconsin lawmakers are introducing a bill that would change the name of the Tomah VA and honor a veteran who lost his life too soon. If the bill passes, the Tomah VA would be called the Jason Simcakoski VA Medical Center. Simcakoski, a Marine veteran, overdosed on opioids in 2014 while receiving treatment from the Tomah VA. The bill which received bipartisan support is headed by Senator Tammy Baldwin and Representative Derrick Van Orden and will act as a remembrance.
