Department of
Veterans Affairs Audie L Murphy Division
(ALMD)
www.vasthcs.med.va.gov/
The Audie L.
Murphy Veteran’s Hospital, named after
the nation's most highly decorated World
War II hero, began operations and
initiated its affiliation with the
University of Texas Health Science
Center at San Antonio in October 1973.
Acute medical, surgical, psychiatric,
geriatric, and primary care services are
offered for veterans residing locally,
regionally and nationally.
Comprised of 271 operating hospital
beds, a 90-bed Extended Care Therapy
Center and a 30-bed state-of-the-art
Spinal Cord Injury Center, ALMD provides
such tertiary care services and
technology as bone marrow
transplantation, open heart surgery,
magnetic resonance imaging and positron
emission tomography. The VA’s Under
Secretary for Health honored the STVHCS
with operating two clinical Programs of
Excellence—Health Care for Homeless
Veterans and Cardiac Surgery Program. As
a Level II research facility, with a
budget of approximately $5.4 million (24
percent VA funded), nearly 40 principal
investigators conduct research on aging,
cardiac surgery, cancer, diabetes, and
more. The facility houses the only
National Institutes of Health sponsored
research program in the VA and one of 16
Geriatric Research, Education & Clinical
Centers, which recently was noted a
"Center of Excellence" by the National
Institute on Aging.
