Erie Veterans Affairs Medical Center has undergone a decade of almost constant construction as it evolves from a 1950s-style healthcare facility to a modern healthcare campus, according to an article on the Go Erie website.
New buildings have been added to the Erie VAMC grounds and more are in the works. Nearly $60 million has been spent upgrading the facility since 2008.
Erie VAMC is adapting to the changing needs of veterans. Fewer of them receive surgeries and other inpatient services.
The work includes a five-year, $35 million renovation plan that will add a new boiler plant, five emergency power generators, a new entrance, and an eight-bed behavioral-health residential treatment center that will open in 2019.
