Located on the University of Missouri campus, the Truman Memorial VA Hospital has a coverage area of 45 counties in Missouri and Illinois and serves more than 32,000 veterans inpatient and 314,000 veterans outpatient.〔http://www.columbiamo.va.gov/docs/2009_Annual_Report.pdf〕 It is affiliated with the University of Missouri School of Medicine. The medical center provides primary care, surgical, mental health, medical, geriatric, transitional, rehabilitative, and hospice services. The Truman VA has achieved some of the best scores in the state of Missouri for JCAHO Quality Reporting. ==History== The Truman VA building was constructed between 1966 and 1972 at a cost of $15 million. In 1975, by an act of Congress, it was legally named Harry S. Truman Memorial Veterans' Hospital. The Truman VA is the only hospital in the Heartland Network — including Missouri, Kansas, and parts of Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky and Arkansas — that has a referral center for open heart surgery. At least 250 heart surgeries per year are performed at the hospital. In 1995 a new ambulatory care building was built, adding onto the north side of the hospital. The two-story ambulatory care center was dedicated March 20, 1998, and cost $15.1 million.〔 In August 2009, ground was broken on a , $25 million expansion to add a suite of operating rooms and renovate existing floor space. The new building will house five operating room suites, two dedicated to open heart surgery, two general purpose, and one dedicated to special procedures. The old operating rooms will also be gutted to house a new post-anesthesia care unit and pre-operation room. The first phase of the project is expected to be completed in November 2010, with the entire project complete by mid-2012. The Truman VA was awarded $8 million in stimulus package funds to replace or renovate existing hospital components, which was completed in 2011. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Harry S.
