(The Center Square) — The first leader of Massachusetts' pair of Soldiers Home facilities discussed how his new office is working to fulfill its mission after a series of pandemic-related tragedies have rocked the institution in recent years. Jon Santiago, installed as Massachusetts' veterans secretary within Gov. Maura Healey's Cabinet, discussed his visions for the Soldiers Home facilities in Chelsea and Holyoke at a hearing of the Legislature's Joint Committee on Ways and Means. 'The goals come down to one thing: How do we rebuild trust in our veteran's community?' Santiago said in the testimony he provided to the legislative panel.
