Federal investigators have determined, for the second time, that a VA Medical Center in the Northern Arizona VA Health System has failed to adequately protect its employees from patient-inflicted violence.

According to a July 2 press release from the United States Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), a fresh investigation was launched after a complaint last December about a resident who was “aggressive and violent” at the Bob Stump VA Medical Center in Prescott.
