Milwaukee VA: Tracing VA’s origins
When 60 Veterans first made their way onto the Milwaukee VA campus in 1867 and moved into existing farm buildings, things looked a lot different than today.
The campus sprawled over 425 acres of rolling grass, hills and lakes. It is an honor that today’s modern-day Department of Veterans Affairs traces its roots back to these hallowed grounds.
Little by little, year by year, and decade by decade, more buildings were added to meet the burgeoning need of Veteran health care.
Thousands upon thousands of Veterans who called this place home have passed through these grounds -- from the Civil War to today’s military hospital that serves more than 64,000 Veterans annually.
Our main hospital looks far different today than when it opened in 1966. All floors have been remodeled, and the facility now provides world-class cardiac, cancer and mental health services. Our recent changes include the Spinal Cord Injury Center, robotic surgery and new catheterization lab. These improvements support innovative, life-saving and life-changing care to Veterans of all ages and eras.

I would like to thank the nursing staff on the cancer care floor, for helping me celebrate my husbands birthday today, by surprising him with a happy birthday song and and having cake with us. This meant a lot to us, and our family.
I recieved my 1st of 2 shots with you today. Very well organized, glad to see so many Vets coming for appointments to get the vaccine. Employees were working hard! Thanks to all the workers.
I'm really getting frustrated with the VA in Milw. I've been out of pain pills for one week now, tracking said they are waiting for the package. I called VA pharm. and some guy named Joel said there was nothing he could do and send out another order. Guess what nothing and I feel this Joel was pretty rude.
still waiting to here from the VA about a covid 19 vaccine
Is there a possibility for Vets to get the COVID shots that are being leftover or unutilized by the higher priorities? I'll jump in my car and be there in an hour, if so....
I think that it’s not fair that they Discriminate against felons at this establishment!! 
Thanks Jessica Serdynski & Zablocki VA staff for getting all of the 2020 "Christmas With The Vets" items out to all of our Veterans.
would like to make donation to Fischer house. who do I make the check out to and where do I send it. tried to get info while my husband was at his appointments but no one could give me an answer.
Seems like a great day to applaud the doctors and staff at this great facility! Thank you for your fabulous care.
