Louis A. Johnson VA Medical Center

Situation Update

As of Monday, June 8, 2020 10:29 AM EDT

We would like to thank everyone for your continued cooperation in the COVID-19 screening process taking place at the main entrance.  To continue to keep everyone safe, we are implementing the following changes. 

Screening  

Effective, Monday, March 23, 2020, all Veterans will be required to utilize a drive thru screening process.  The drive thru will be available Monday thru Friday, 7:00am to 4:30pm.  After normal business hours, Veterans will be screened at the main entrance.  Color coded wristbands will be issued to everyone who is permitted to enter the campus.  The issuance of wristbands will limit the amount of times we ask the screening questions. 

Visitation

All visitors are prohibited from visiting the medical center.  This includes inpatient and outpatient visitation.  Rare exceptions may be made for Hospice/Palliative care Veterans and other Veterans who may be highly dependent on a caregiver. 

Appointments

We continue to review all appointments to convert as many to virtual options as possible.  If you would like to reschedule your appointment, please contact your primary care aligned team.
