President Donald J. Trump has declared Wednesday, December 5, 2018, as a National Day of Mourning in respect to the death of former President George H. W. Bush. This will result in closure of most Federal offices except for those, determined by the head of the agency, that cannot be excused.

The health care services we provide Veterans at the Gulf Coast Veterans Health Care System are essential. As such, the clinics at our main facility in Biloxi and our community based outpatient clinics will remain open on Wednesday. All appointments, diagnostic or interventional procedures and surgeries will remain scheduled.

Thank you for your service to our nation and thank you for choosing VA.

Sincerely,

Bryan C. Matthews
Director

PANAMA CITY, Fla. -- The Department of Veterans Affairs Gulf Coast Veterans Health Care System’s Hurricane Michael Medical Unit that has been operating from a Walmart parking lot will relocate to the Panama City Beach VA Clinics and be open for Veterans on Monday, October 29, 2018, at 8 a.m.

The Medical Station will operate from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday, located at 513 W. 23rd Street, then it will relocate to the PCB VA Clinics at 2600 Veterans Way (along Magnolia Beach Road), and 140 Richard Jackson Blvd., in Panama City Beach. There will be no services available on Saturday, Oct. 27, or Sunday, Oct. 28, during the transition.

Normal operations at the PCB VA Clinics resumed Oct. 16. The GCVHCS Medical Station has been in operation since Oct. 15, helping hundreds of Veterans and community members with holistic medical services, readjustment counseling, pharmacy, food, homeless support and much more. Since Oct. 16, Veterans with scheduled appointments have been seen in both PCB VA locations (2600 Veterans Way and 140 Richard Jackson Boulevard) between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.  Veterans who walk-in for care will be seen, too.

“With the Medical Station team’s support, and our PCB VA clinic staff, we are able to meet the medical needs of the Veterans in this community,” Bryan C. Matthews, GCVHCS director, said.  “It’s our honor to serve Veterans during this tragedy, and the commitment of our employees does not go unnoticed.”

For Veterans who cannot get to the PCB VA Clinics, a toll-free number, 1-800-507-4571, has been established for Veterans to get updated information on where to go for care, how to receive prescription drugs, or any other concerns they may have about their care. The phone line is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Sonya Stokes-Sumrall, Veterans Integrated Service Network’s Emergency Management Officer, who has served as the Medical Station’s incident commander, offered a moment of reflection about the operation.

“It has been a tremendous honor serving those who served us here in Panama City,” Stokes-Sumrall said.  “What has happened here is a true tragedy, and we’ve seen a lot of heart-breaking circumstances from the Veterans we’ve served. “I’m eternally grateful to have had such a fabulous team of VA professionals here to support this community in need.”

GCVHCS Director Bryan C. Matthews, echoed Stokes-Sumrall’s sentiments.

“Sonya and the dedicated Medical Station team has been a godsend,” Matthews said.  “I’d like to offer my deepest thanks to all members of the team, who came from all over the country to help our Veteran community in Northwest Florida.  I’m also thankful for our Panama City VA employees who have showed tremendous resiliency as they continue to recover from Hurricane Michael and return to work.”

    Biloxi VA road resurfacing project begins

    Veterans and family members should be aware of the potential impacts to traffic flow for the next six to eight months while the main road on the Department of Veterans Affairs Gulf Coast Veterans Health Care System campus is being resurfaced.

    Most of the resurfacing work is scheduled to occur outside of normal duty hours for the majority of GCVHCS employees (8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.), but all who access the GCVHCS campus should expect some mid-morning and mid-afternoon delays while the work is ongoing.

    One lane will be open at all times for traffic entering the GCVHCS campus. When necessary, outgoing traffic will be diverted through Hiller Park (via Atkinson Road).
