OVAMC Virtual Hospital

Added: Aug 14, 2014 1:56 pm The Orlando Veteran Affairs (VA) Medical Center has a need for a new contract to provide veterans with convenient access to information about VA health benefits, their medical records, health information, expert advice, and the ongoing support needed to make informed health decisions and successfully implement their health plans. Given the growing needs of U.S. veterans living in Central Florida, a new VA Medical Center (VAMC) is scheduled to open its doors in 2015. This new facility will include a 134-bed hospital, a 120-bed community living center, a 60-bed domiciliary, an outpatient clinic, and a veterans' benefits mini service center. The center will also be equipped with the latest in digital technology and modern amenities. The new VAMC will increase the healthcare options for approximately 400,000 Central Florida veterans and will be part of the Veterans Integrated Service Networks (VISN) 8, which is also known as the Sunshine Healthcare Network. VISN 8 is the nation's largest system of hospitals and clinics, serving a population of more than 1.6 million veterans in a vast 61,101 square mile area across 79 counties in Florida, South Georgia, Puerto Rico and the Caribbean. The expectation is that this new center in VISN 8 will be an exemplar facility for the VA and quality healthcare across the nation.
