New Head for Dayton VA Medical Center

The Dayton VA Medical Center has a new director.  The Center that serves some A southwest Ohio medical center that serves some 37,000 veterans says Glenn Costie took over today.

The Dayton VA Medical center, which was rocked by dental clinic hygiene problems, says he is committed to delivering high quality and safe care to veterans.

Costie was the director at the John J. Pershing VA Medical Center in Poplar Bluff, MO, the last two-plus years. He spent much of his 27-year VA career at Cleveland's VA Medical Center.

He replaces William Montague, the former Cleveland VA director called out of retirement last March to serve
as acting director in Dayton. The previous director was reassigned after a probe found a clinic dentist wasn't regularly changing latex gloves or properly sterilizing equipment.
