The Biden administration is proposing replacing much of the 100-year-old Edward Hines Jr. VA Hospital as part of a national overhaul of the nation’s veterans' health care system.
The Department of Veterans Affairs released details earlier this week about how it plans to revamp its facilities across the country.
Under the plan, the Chicago area would keep its three main VA health care facilities. But Hines, which has nearly 500 beds, would get a new building to house all of its patient care.
Edward Hines, Jr. VA Hospital is proud to announce the opening of Phase Three of the Freedom's Path development, providing low-income and housing-insecure Veterans access to 28 additional affordable apartments on the Hines VA medical campus.
Edward Hines Jr. VA Hospital participated in the annual Point-in-Time Count in suburban Cook, DuPage, Kane, and Will counties in January 2021 to estimate the number of homeless Americans, including veterans, without safe, stable housing.
