Increasing number of younger vets brought larger budgets to VA health systems allowing for such upgrades.
The new $12 million in stimulus dollars will be used a little differently it will fund upgrades of other areas of the older facility to replace old heating, ventilation and air-conditioning and to replace aging cooling towers and boilers.
Budgeted items over the next two years will dramatically change this landscape. A new mental health building will rise here. Another will be for rehab and prosthetics all designed with the needs of today's vets in mind.
The budgeted 30 million dollars over several years will yield:
- New ER
- A New Cardiac Catheter Lab
- A New Outpatient Clinic in Oakhurst
- Double the size of Clinic in Atwater-Merced
- A New Mental Health Building
- Rehabilitation and Prosthetics Area
- A New 2-level Parking Structure
- Additional nurses at outlying clinics
