VA hospitals in California
VA hospitals › California
California has 8 VA hospitals. 8 of them have an emergency department.
VA medical centers are run by the Veterans Health Administration and serve enrolled veterans rather than the general public. They appear in CMS data with their own facility identifiers, and they report a narrower set of measures than community hospitals, so comparisons with a nearby general hospital are rarely like for like.
