Richard L. Roudebush V.A. Medical Center Richard L. Roudebush V.A. Medical Center served as a designated referral center for several other facilities in the Midwest. The 610-bed facility handles over 10,000 admissions annually, in addition to approximately 150,000 outpatients.
Specialized treatment is provided in many areas.
Due to the large number of veterans needing care for cardiovascular disease, renal disease and dialysis, pulmonary function, and liver problems, the Roudebush Medical Center is recognized for diagnosis, treatment and research in these areas. Major research areas include chronic ischemic heart disease, rheumatology, organ transplant surgery, and liver disease. To answer increased demand for services, the V.A. hospital embarked upon an ambitious expansion program in 1991, including the Radiology Department. The 80,000 procedures performed annually at the V.A. Medical Center include conventional and computed digital radiography, ultrasound, computed tomography, fluoroscopy, angiography, interventional radiology and nuclear medicine. All rights reserved.
