FAYETTEVILLE -- The head of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs visited Fayetteville Thursday, home to a VA medical center with one of the country's worst waiting times for primary care treatment. Acting VA Secretary Sloan Gibson said problems do exist with the V-A system, but the majority of the staff is working hard to make sure veterans are well taken care of.

Gibson became VA head last month after Eric Shinseki resigned following allegations that veterans died while waiting for care at a Phoenix VA Medical Center.
