IRON MOUNTAIN -- Along with another freshman lawmaker from New York, Benishek will hear testimony at Iron Mountain's Veterans Hospital Monday at 10 a.m.

Specifically, the committee is examining whether or not services have been impacted as a result of $533 million from Congress over the last two years.

That money was meant to improve the delivery of health care to rural veterans.

The hearing is open to the public.
