The Leavenworth VA Medical Center is part of the VA Eastern Kansas Health Care System which serves veterans in Eastern Kansas and Northwestern Missouri. There are two main hospitals, one in Topeka and Leavenworth, with 10 regional community based out patients clinics.

Since 1886, the staff of the Dwight D. Eisenhower VA Medical Center has been serving veterans. Today, we proudly serve our nation's veterans with excellent health care as part of the VA Eastern Kansas Health Care System (VAEKHCS). We consider it our privilege to serve your health care needs in any way we can.

VA Eastern Kansas Health Care System's primary service area consists of 39 counties in Kansas and Missouri. Veteran population in these counties totals over 104,000. VAEKHCS provides care to approximately 36,000 veterans.

Today the Dwight D. Eisenhower VA Medical Center has a 38-bed hospital, a 40-bed nursing home, a 202-bed domiciliary, and has over 100,000 outpatient visits a year. The Veterans' Health Care Reform Act of 1996 has moved the VA from a large inpatient complex serving only service connected injuries to a more flexible outpatient facility that provides excellent health care as part of a benefits package that emphasizes preventive and primary care.

The VA has also established Community Based Outpatient Clinics, which take health care closer to veterans. There are about 735 employees at Leavenworth serving more veterans than ever before. Dwight D. Eisenhower VAMC and the Colmery-O'Neil VAMC were integrated in 1998 forming the VA Eastern Kansas Health Care System.
