"West Virginia leaders are concerned plans to modernize the Veterans Affairs medical system will significantly reduce treatment options in the state. In March, the Department of Veterans Affairs' presented recommendations to the Asset and Infrastructure Review Commission to modernize services and address aging buildings within the VA health care system over the next decade. Within those recommendations, three VA Medical Centers in West Virginia, The Beckley VA Medical Center, the Louis A. Johnson VA Medical Center in Clarksburg, and the Hershel “Woody” Williams VAMC in Huntington, would see a reduction in services. Clarksburg and Huntington would have their emergency departments converted to urgent care centers. All three locations would no longer offer in-patient medical and surgical services. The VA says veterans can turn to other medical providers in their area for these services. The VA will instead focus on community living centers for an aging regional veteran population."
