The VHA division has more employees than all other elements of the VA combined.
History
The first Federal agency to provide medical care to veterans was the Naval Home in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The home was created in 1812 and was followed by the creation of Soldiers Home in 1853 and St. Elizabeth's Hospital in 1855. Congress created the National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers in 1865 in response to the high number of Civil War casualties. These homes were initially intended to be room and board for disabled veterans. However, by the late 1920s, the homes were providing a level of care comparable to hospital care.
This station is located on the northwest corner of the intersection of Minnehaha Avenue with the entrance to the Minneapolis VA Medical Center. This is a center-platform station. Service began at this station when the Blue Line opened on June 26, 2004.
VA Medical Center Station is a DART Light Rail station located in the Oak Cliff neighborhood of Dallas, Texas (USA) on Lancaster Road (SH 342) and Mentor Avenue. It opened on May 31, 1997. and is a station on the Blue Line, serving nearby residences and businesses, the Dallas VA Medical Center, and the Dallas Urban League.

The station opened on August 25, 1984. Its opening coincided with the completion of 6.8 miles (10.9km) of rail northwest of the Van Ness–UDC station and the opening of the Bethesda, Friendship Heights, Grosvenor and Tenleytown stations.
In September 2009, Montgomery County submitted a $20 million federal grant application to build a pedestrian tunnel under Wisconsin Avenue to improve access to the Medical Center stop. Construction would have originally occurred in 2011, but the project was not approved until 2013.
