The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs' Lebanon Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC) was scheduled to hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony and open house for its new state-of-the-art Medical-Surgical Unit on Dec. 10, 2024.

The new 12,013-square-foot Medical-Surgical Unit provides a modernized area to expand access to inpatient medical and surgical services at Lebanon VAMC. The unit - which cost more than $10 million - will specialize in a range of pre-surgical and post-surgical services with advanced telemetry technology and data storage.

It will provide 16 patient rooms, including two bariatric rooms and two isolation rooms. In addition, it will feature offices, storage rooms, sterile storage, a consult room, and a nourishment room. The new space is connected to the Intensive Care Unit and is in close proximity to the Emergency Department.

The Lebanon VAMC seeks to provide comprehensive, accessible, and compassionate care to those who have served in the U.S. military.
