Beiler also served as chief operating officer of the Lebanon VAMC from November 2017 to October 2020, according to his LinkedIn page.
The Lebanon VAMC serves nearly 50,000 veterans annually across a nine-county area in south-central Pennsylvania. It employs over 2,000 people and oversees community clinics in Mechanicsburg, Lancaster, Pottsville, Wyomissing, and York.
