Fayetteville VA Medical Center

About the Fayetteville VA Medical Center

The Fayetteville VA Medical Center opened in November 2015. The new facility amalgamated two old VA medical centers operating in Fayetteville since World War II. At one time, Fort Bragg, Pope AAFB, Camp Lejeune and nearby Seymour Johnson Air Force base contained nearly 300,000 military personnel. This number didn’t include Reserve, National Guard, and civilian support staff. Many veterans chose to retire in the Fayetteville VA catchment area.

Primary, specialty and long-term services are the core focus for Fayetteville VA Medical Center professionals. Their mission statement reflects President Abraham Lincoln’s commitment to veterans with his words, “To care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan.” With that, Fayetteville VA Center includes veterans’ families in an overall health care approach.

The Fayetteville VA facility is a Complexity Level 2 Medical Center. This means it delivers a wide range of general and specialty services including a small research and education department. There are 50 beds dedicated to general medical, surgical and mental health needs of veterans. Another 69 beds are maintained in the Community Living Center (CLC), and 150 long-term spaces are available in Fayetteville’s nursing home.

Fayetteville is one of two health care centers in the region. Another facility affiliated with the new complex is set in nearby Wilmington. Completing the veteran’s care facility are Community Based Outpatient Clinics (CBOCs) providing outreach care in Sanford, Robeson County, Jacksonville, Hamlet, Goldsboro and Brunswick County. In all, the Fayetteville VA Medical Center serves 70,000 veterans across southeastern North Carolina and northwestern South Carolina. That accounts for 700,000 annual hospital and outpatient visits.
