President Obama's administration is set to announce the creation of a panel that will be charged with determining ways the Veterans Affairs Department can better help soldiers in their life after service. 

Reuters reported that VA Secretary Robert McDonald will officially announce the details of a board at an event at the Phoenix VA facility. President Obama will also be there to unpack the details of how the panel will work and what the goals of this initiative are. Bloomberg explained that while he is in Phoenix, the president will meet with VA employees, veterans organizations and veterans to talk about the current strengths and weaknesses of the VA Department, and learn what they believe should be done to make improvements.
