Dallas VA Medical Center receives federal grant
Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson today announced that the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has released $624,509 to the Dallas VA Medical Center. The Dallas VA Medical Center will use the money to design a project to relocate Specialty Care Clinics. The funding is a portion of the amount allocated to minor project construction under the Military Construction and Veterans Affairs Appropriations Act of 2009.
“As a former nurse at the Dallas VA Medical Center, I’m very pleased to announce this funding,” Congresswoman Johnson said. “This project will enable the Dallas VA to better provide high-quality and accessible health care to North Texas veterans.”
Congress more than doubled the Bush Administration request for minor construction at VA hospitals, from $329 million to $742 million, in the Military Construction and Veterans Affairs Appropriations Act of 2009, with Congresswoman Johnson’s support. The increased funding made the Dallas VA project possible.
