Since 1954, we have provided quality care to veterans of our community and surrounding areas. In 1970 the John Cochran Veterans Administration Hospital was consolidated with the Jefferson Barracks Veterans Administration Hospital. This consolidation was a major step in providing St. Louis area veterans coordinated, integrated health services. From surgery to diagnostics, fitness to rehabilitation, depend on us for care focused on America's heroes - focused on you!
Again, welcome to VAMC St. Louis, MO. Come back often!
